Need for the Document

• In Bangladesh, gratuity is a lump-sum payment made by an employer to an employee as a form of appreciation for the employee's long and continuous service with the organization. The payment is typically made when the employee leaves the organization due to retirement, resignation, or termination, after completing a minimum period of service as stipulated in the employment contract or the Bangladesh Labor Law.

Information which might help

• According to the Bangladesh Labor Law, an employee who has worked continuously for at least five years in an organization is entitled to gratuity payment upon termination of employment. Gratuity is calculated based on the employee's basic salary and the length of service. The formula for calculating gratuity is as follows:

• Gratuity amount = Basic salary x Length of service x 15/26

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
