Re: Can Gratuity be claimed more than once ?
hi,
i think employee is eligible for gratuity from their new employer if he is completed 5 years in that organisation,
if i am wrong ,please correct me,
Eligibility for gratuity is,
An employee is eligible for receiving gratuity payment only after he has completed five years of continuous service. He is said to be in continuous service when he has provided uninterrupted service during that period.
on super annuation or
on his retirement or resignation or
death or disablement due to accident or disease.
This condition of five years is not necessary if the termination of the employment of an employee is due to death or disablement. However, interruption on account of sickness, accident, leave, lay-off, strike, lockout, cessation of work not due to any fault of the employee will not be considered as a break in service. (Section 4)

Merina
