Regarding Gratuity previous 5 year & current 5 years

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies gratuity entitlement for an employee who worked for five years (2011-2016), had their contract renewed every two years with a sister company, and then rejoined the same company to complete another five years of service until February 2024. While the employee is clearly entitled to gratuity for the most recent five-year period, the advice suggests that requesting gratuity for the earlier five years, due to contract renewals, is possible but depends on the employer's discretion.

03 November 2023 Dear Sir/Madam,

Greetings!

I worked in a company for five years, from 2011 to 2016. Every two years, they renew their employee contracts and give a new contract to their sister company, so I don't know about the gratuity. Earlier, I was not paid a gratuity by my company. I have a 5-year experience letter from my main company. Three years later, I rejoined and continued with the same company, completing my five-year tenure in February 2024. If I leave this company, I should get gratuity for last five years and current five years

. I would appreciate your advice.

Kindly advise
