What is Gratuity?
- Gratuity
- ERPNext's Gratuity module calculates and provisions statutory gratuity payable to employees on separation after a minimum qualifying period under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
Configuring Gratuity Rules
Go to Payroll → Gratuity Rule → New. Set the formula (typically Last Basic Salary × 15/26 × Years of Service). Link to a Salary Component for provisional monthly accrual. Set the qualifying years (usually 5 years of continuous service).
Processing Gratuity on Separation
When an employee leaves, create a Gratuity record under HR → Gratuity. ERPNext calculates the amount based on the rule, last drawn basic salary, and service period. The payment posts to the gratuity payable account and the expense account.
