Applicability of gratuity act

No clear defination has been given in Gratuity Act about whether to merge all branches employee together or not. Wait for experts answers.

No, it will not apply.  Refer Section 1(3)(b) of the Act.  It clearly says 'every shop or establishment'.

It should be the company as a whole put together in all places.

In my opinion it should be covered under the Gratuity Act for all the places together at the central office.
