Gratuity is a statutory benefit provided to the employees who have rendered continuous service for at least five years. The gratuity benefit is payable on cessation of employment either by resignation, death, retirement or termination. The last drawn basic salary is taken as the basis for the calculation.
For Example: In India, as per statute, the employee is eligible for 15 days pay for each completed year of service after completion of five continuous years of service.
The Gratuity Summary report provides comprehensive information on the Gratuity Eligible Salary and the Total Gratuity amount that is liable to be given to the employees.
