Gratuity after one year for fixed-term staff; final pay within two working days
What’s happening
Fixed-term employees now earn gratuity pro rata after one year of service, and the Code on Wages requires final wages to be paid within two working days after an employee leaves, a rule industry still wants clarified.
What to do
Update exit checklists and payroll cut-offs so final settlements go out within two working days.
