Gratuity - A General View

I received a query regarding the payment of gratuity under Pakistani Law. The relevant provision in Labor Law is Standing Order 12(6).

The employer has to either pay gratuity or contribute towards a provident fund or a pension fund. If there is a provident fund in existence where the employer pays equal to the contribution of the workman, there is no gratuity. The gratuity is equal to thirty days wages – gross- calculated on the basis of the last wages received if he is a fixed rate workman and/or the highest wage in the last twelve months if he is not, for every year of service.

For detailed opinion please contact me at yasser.hamdani@gmail.com.

  1. I have a follow up question. My current employer has no provident fund or gratuity in place. All they offer is the EOBI fund contribution. I would like to know if this is legal? Also does gratuity apply to people with certain wage amounts only?

  4. I need your help in understanding gratuity fund transfer to employee. My company had gratuity policy since 4 years, now they have stopped/seized it and introduced provident fund in-place according to law. Now the issue is company is saying that they will give the gratuity amount of four years according to my current salary when I will leave the company as par Pakistan gratuity law. Lets say my current salary is 30K then they will give me 4x30K=120K, however I will be leaving may be in two or three years for example. But at that time my salary would be around 50K . So, I am saying that my gratuity should be for example 4*50K= 200K. But company is saying that they have seize the gratuity and introduced provident fund against it.

    So the employees of the company are saying that either the company should give the gratuity amount now or they should consider the current salary when the employee will be leaving since it is also a gratuity law that the Gratuity= last salary drawn x no. of service years. Since the gratuity amount is of employee and as time passes for example in 2 or more years this money is valued down.

    I want to know what is the law is saying in such scenario.

  6. Moreover, a professional, competent lawyer will be able to uncover the standard disability insurance's unlawful practices.In addition,with a working understanding of insurance companies, the lawyer will devise strategies necessary to prove, in a court of law,that the insurance company did indeed exhibit unlawful practices. All of these pertinent steps must be executed with expert skill that only comes from years of experience in law. Edson Legal

  7. There are a variety of legal guidelines set up to shield individuals from unjust treatment while at work. Quite often, when such policies are violated, this is a civil rights violation. Pace Law Firm
