A. Dear Client,

The Act specifies the rates at which gratuity should be paid for each completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.

Probationers, not considered permanent employees, are not subject to standard rules and regulations for resolving disputes with the employer. In India, the Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act, 1946, is the sole law addressing probation, applicable to organizations with a minimum of 100 active permanent employees. Any agreement or condition for a probationer cannot ...ReadMore
