Retrenchment/Layoff is also a part considered in FAQ.
In our letter received for layoff, it was mentioned in our settlement one month severance pay will be given inclusive gratuity.
Hi,
Our company has paid 1 year gratuity amount after inquiring, since gratuity clause was mentioned in our lay off letter. My query is the amount should be paid for 5 years or for 1 year.The tenure of our service period was 1 year. But as per gratuity benefit, the amount should be calculated for minimum 5 years or it can be any period.
The minimum completed years payable for gratuity is 5 years and they paid for 1 year term. Can we claim for 5 years as severance pay package.
You may kindly check this with your employer.
