If an employer terminates the employment of an employee who has worked for more than 5 years in the company, is the employer liable to pay gratuity to that employee? Please suggest.

Gratuity should be paid irrespective of whether the employee left the job on his own or removed by the company.

The company should pay gratuity to an employee who has resigned or whom the company is terminating if the employee has completed 4 years and 240 days in the 5th year. According to the amendment in the Gratuity Act, gratuity is applicable after 4 years and 240 days.

Companies should pay gratuity to employees who have resigned or have been terminated by the company if the employee has completed 4 years and 240 days in the 5th year. According to the amendment in the Gratuity Act, gratuity is applicable after 4 years and 240 days of service. A judgment given by the Madras High Court in a similar case where the employee had completed 4 years and 240 days resulted in the employer paying gratuity.
