19 August 2013 Dear Sirs,

I have certain doubts about gratuity act, kindly clarify.

As per Gratuity Act an employee to be eligible for gratuity has to work for a minimum of 240 days / year.

1. Kindly let me know from which date 240 days would be reckoned (starting from the date of joining or from calender month in which the employee has joined).

2. If an employee has worked for 7 years, out of which in 3 years he has worked for less than 240 days (calculated as per the Act), would he be paid gratuity for 4 year only.

3. For calculating no. of working days as above whether leave days without wages would be considered.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Best Regards
