Is gratuity based on basic salary or total salary?

Basic wage only. Allowances such as housing and transport are not included.

Are partial years included?

Yes under the new law, pro rata. Under the previous law, service of less than one year did not qualify.

What if my employer does not pay?

Ask for a written final settlement. If still unpaid, file a labour complaint with the Ministry of Labour.
