Dear Customer,
Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated! We welcome you to join us in the legal section
It should be noted that after reviewing your inquiry and legal scrutiny we would like to inform you that a worker who has completed one or more years of continuous service shall be entitled to end of service gratuity, and shall not enter the days of absence from work without pay in calculating the period of service.
The gratuity shall be calculated as follows:
1. Twenty-one days for each of the first five years of service.
2 - Paying thirty days for each year, which is more than that
The worker is entitled to a gratuity for the served fraction of a year, provided that he completes one year of continuous service.
The end of service gratuity is calculated on basis of last wage which the employee was entitled to, namely the basic salary. Hence, it will not include allowances such as housing, conveyance, utilities, furniture etc.
If the employee owes any money to the employer, the employer may deduct the amount from the employee's gratuity.
