Dear all, let us discuss a n interesting case here. A company had appointed MD on fixed term contract for 4 years and further extended for another 3 years. In agreement clause for gratuity payment @ 4.15% was mentioned. Company again renewed the contract for more two years and gratuity clause mentioned as 2 months basic rate. Now question is whether employee should be paid gratuity as per agreement or as per gratuity rules ie continuous service for 9 years and avg salary of last one year?

Gratuity will have to be paid as per Payment of Gratuity Act. One cannot contract to pay lesser than legal entitlement-where it is specified how gratuity is to be worked out.

I think it would be the amount in the agreement or the Amount computed in the method specified in the act, whichever higher
