............................................................................................................................. Description An establishment serves the nation successfully when it fairly serves its working family. The terminal and retrial benefits bear upon anxiety for the ageing future in this mortal world and impact upon contentment of the working life. An organisation can summon its flaming vigour only if its personnel and labour wings go into full swing with courage and contentment. The community itself has vital concern in the working conditions of the dual human groups whose invisible work is crystallized daily and moves into mass distribution. In a democracy, products and the men behind have a special value. A few legislative measures, including the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, therefore, have taken care of the working conditions of the working class. The latest amendment to the Payment of Gratuity Act provides substantial increase in ceiling (Rs. 10,00,000), for entitlement to gratuity with effect from 24th May, 2010, has enhanced the utility and importance for this book. Besides that the teachers, who were deprived of their right to gratuity, have also been made eligible that too with retrospective effect. All these amendments have been incorporated in this book. .............................................................................................................................
