As per the Act of the Payment of Gratuity of 1972, gratuity is the amount of money that a worker earns from his employer. An employer may pay a gratuity to an employee as a thank you for his service to the firm. Gratuity is one of the components that an employee's gross remuneration includes. However, an employee is only entitled to gratuity payments after 5 years of service with the company. The Payment Gratuity Act of 1972 Every year of service entitles an employee to 15 days' wages as a gratuity. As part of the gratuity for each year of service, the company must pay a sum equal to 15 days of the employee's most recent wage. Salary in this context refers to the total basic earnings and dearness allowance. Furthermore, an employee receiving gratuity payments of up to Rs. 20 lakhs is exempt from paying tax on the amount received as part of the gratuity. Furthermore, this regulation only applies to firms with a minimum of ten employees.

I have just been given a raise, but I have observed that my basic salary has been kept the same. Will this affect my gratuity? Answer: It is assumed that your employment is subject to the provisions of the UAE's Federal Law No 8 of 1980 on the Regulation of Employment Relations as amended from time to time (the Employment Law), along with the Ministerial Resolutions and Decrees issued in pursuance thereof. Following your query, Article 134 of the Employment Law may be referred. The end-of-service gratuity of an employee is to be calculated based on his/her last drawn salary subject to the condition that it shall not include anything given to the employee in kind, in addition to allowances for housing, transport, travel, overtime, representation, children's education, recreation and social services. The said Article 134 reads as follows: • (1) Without prejudice to the provisions of some laws regarding the granting of pensions and gratuities to employees of some establishments, the end of service gratuity shall be computed on the basis of last wage which the employee was entitled to, in respect of those drawing their salary per month, week or day, and on the basis of average daily wage stipulated in Article (57) in respect of those drawing their wages on piece work basis. • (2) The wage which is considered as basis for computation of ...

After the new wage code is implemented, some employees are expected to see their salaries being restructured; companies are required to pay atleast 50% of the salary as basic wage. In cases where the basic pay is below the required mark, the employers may have to restructure the salary to comply with the new rules under the four labour codes, namely the Industrial Relations Code, Code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, Social Security Code and Code on Wages. An increase in basic pay will also result in higher gratuity for the employees as the gratuity calculation is based on basic pay. “An increase in pay resulting from the restructuring will also lead to increase in the gratuity payment of the employees. However, the formula for calculating gratuity remains the same under the Code of Social security, 2020. “The formulae for calculation of gratuity remains similar to the one provided for under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972, that is, 15 days’ wages (or such number of days as may be notified by the central government) for every completed year of service, based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee concerned, subject to a ceiling to be prescribed by the central government," said Manishii Pathak, founding partner, Anhad Law. In case of gratuity, for each year of service, the organization has to pay an amount equalling 15 days of last-drawn salary. Salary here is considered basic wages plus dearness allowance. Moreover, if a person works fo...
