My mother has worked for an institute for last 20 years, it’s a school ruled by a private trust, she had to take a year leave as her health did not do fine, further on after a year still her health did not do fine therefore she had to give her resignation, she was asked by the school to submit the resignation in a particular format given to her by the H.R authorities. After everything was done, she inquired about the gratuity which she deserved, to which she was given a skipping answer saying that the principal will decide about the same after two or three months…
Further on she was even reminded that the school had taken her signature over paper in which she had waived off such rights when she was made a permanent teacher in the school..
Any advice about the same, does her signing over some paper really waive her rights of receiving gratuity?
Does school like these under trust come under the Gratuity act?
What next should be our action?
