I have retired on 10th july'2017 from MNC at the age of 58 years after my association for Approx 8.5 years. With regard to applicable number of years I have received below comments through mail from my HR department.
HR Comments: "If any employee served 5 years and 6 Month and 1 day then he/she is entitled for Gratuity payment for 6 Years but if the service is for 5 years 5 month and 30 days then he/she will be entitled for 5 years gratuity only. In your case you had worked for 8 years 5 month and 24 days so gratuity will be paid only for 8 years."
My comments: In my case working days were 6 per week & length of service is 8 years 5 month 24 days. Kindly clarify number of years to consdier for Gratuity, 8 years, 8.5 years or 9 years in my case.
