Dear Friends,
I am stuck on one point where I could not find any reference to resolve the issue. I need your help and suggestions.
If an employee works in a company for 4.3 years, then remains absconding for 2 years, and later puts in his resignation, is he still eligible for Gratuity Payment?
Awaiting your valuable advice.

No. Entitlement to gratuity does not arise if 5 years continuous service is not there.

U/s 4(1) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1971, the Gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years only. The term “continues service” is defined u/s 2A of the said Act. Since this employee has worked only for 4.3 years he is not eligible for gratuity.

One has to put in 5 years continuous service to become eligible for gratuity. This employee has not worked for 5 years and is not eligible for gratuity.
