Dispute resolution process

Under The Payment of Gratuity Act, Controlling Authority apponted under this Act is the right person to resolve the disputes. Basically the dispute is on these points-

1- date of appointment

2- date of termination/ death/ super annuation/ end of employer-employee relationship

3- length of sevice

4- last pay drawn

5- whether employment admitted or not.

The applicability of the Act also becomes a major issue. I worked as a controlling authority under the Act for 5 years. Delay in filing, last wages drawn etc comes into discussions.
