Dear All, The Gratuity Act states that an employee should complete a minimum of 5 years of service for eligibility. If an employee completes 5 years but does not work for 7 months before completing the 5 years, is the employee still eligible for Gratuity? Please provide guidance.

Even though the employee has completed 5 years, he should work for 240 days in each year. So, he is not eligible if he has not been paid for the 7 months or if he has LOP (Loss of Pay) for the 7 months. If he has been paid, then he is eligible for gratuity.

Would you kindly provide the date of joining and the date of leaving the service before I can offer any valuable suggestions? How many days were you in attendance in the fifth year? Was it due to your fault or due to the establishment/management?
