Hi,
I have worked for an organization for 4 Years and 11 months, but when I enquired about the gratuity payment, the organization HR is refusing to entertain the request citing the 5 year clause for gratuity payment. Please inform what are the options available for getting the Gratuity payment.

Hi Bhakti,
Thanks for replying back. Does it means that I am not eligible for claiming Gratuity from the employer? However, I have read that if an employee has completed 4Years and 8 Months (240 Days) of uninterrupted service in an organization, they become eligible for Gratuity. Please correct me if wrong.

Hi,
You are definitely entitled for Gratuity. I had resigned from Metlife last year in June'12 and I completed 4year and 7 months, I had gone through the Gratuity policy and came to know that completing 4.6 yrs is deemed to have fallen in 5 years. I had also taken a mail confirmation from the Head HR regarding the same. And in F&F I was paid the gratuity as per my existing basic salary norms.
Regards,
Chetan Kumar.

Hello.
I wanted to know if an employre completes his five years of service and then resigns from the services of the company.
He/she will be paid his loyality benefit as gratuity. But the same employee if joins
another organisation will he/she be eligible for gratuity benefits from the first day whether he/she serves five yrs or not or the employre hs
to serve five yrs again with his new company to show his loyality and then will be eligible for gratuity.
Kindly explain

Hi Anu,
Its simple to understand that Gratuity is paid by an organization where a person is completing 5 years......so whenever a person is joining a new company, the countdown starts afresh from 1st day (permanent as well as temporary/probation staffs)......so if u keep on jumping every 5 years to 4 different companies, u are entitled for 4 gratuity.
regards,
Chetan.
