Key clarifications on Indian employment laws and using our toolkit.
Is gratuity mandatory if I work 4 years and 240 days?
Yes. Multiple High Court rulings (including the Madras and Karnataka High Courts) affirm that under Section 2A of the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, completing 240 working days in the 5th year constitutes "continuous service," making an employee fully eligible for statutory gratuity.
Is my salary data private and secure on WorkLegal.in?
100% private. All calculators and document templates run entirely client-side inside your browser via vanilla JavaScript. No salary figures, employee names, or company details are ever transmitted or saved to any server.
Can an employer legally withhold a relieving letter for unserved notice?
Indian courts have repeatedly held that service certificates and experience letters are proof of past employment and cannot be withheld as leverage. If there is a notice period shortfall, the employer's remedy is adjusting notice pay in the Full & Final (F&F) settlement, not denying proof of service.
What is the current wage ceiling for ESI and EPF coverage?
For EPF (Provident Fund), the statutory wage ceiling is ₹15,000 per month Basic + DA. For ESI (Employees' State Insurance), coverage is mandatory for employees earning up to ₹21,000 per month Gross Salary (₹25,000 for employees with disabilities).
