Gratuity, calculated correctly

End-of-service gratuity is one of the most commonly miscalculated payroll items — we get it right the first time, every time.

  • 21 days' basic salary per year for the first 5 years of service
  • 30 days' basic salary per year for each year beyond 5
  • Applies after a minimum of 1 year of continuous service
  • Calculated on basic salary only, excluding allowances
