We work for 5 days a week and as per the below policy, it is said 4yr & 190 Working days, excluding week Off. I am confused here.

The establishment has accepted applicable Act as Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

All off days/holidays/approved leave etc is counted in servic eperiod.

1. You can withdraw notice/resignation before acceptance and tender another one to clear 190days as per internal/private policy of the establsihment.

2. You can interact with designated person in company and/or ALC-Central of your area.

3. You can seek advise and support from IT/ITeS employees unions/trade unions, Labor Law Consultant.
