Kindly confirm if 5.7 years of continuous service makes a staff member eligible for 5 years of gratuity or 6 years of gratuity.
I joined the company on 31.12.2012, and my last day at this organization was 31.07.2018, totaling my working period to 5 years and 7 months. Therefore, I am unsure if I am eligible for 5 years of gratuity or 6 years of gratuity. The organization informed me that I am eligible for only 5 years, but I have completed 5.7 years, which means I have exceeded six months. Hence, I believe I should be eligible for 6 years of gratuity. Please assist me with this clarification.

Hi,
Once you become eligible for gratuity, the calculation is quite simple thereafter. Any period of a year (the last in that company) in which you have worked for more than 6 months should be treated as one full year. In your case, it has to be 6 years, no ifs, no buts.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Even, I have the same case in my current organization, but they are ready to pay me for 6 years of service. I have only worked for 5 years and 6 months, but LIC will pay me for 6 years of service. You have to request your concerned person with a soft voice to get this matter resolved.
