Gratuity Pay

By bella_bakod

Are there any exemptions regarding gratuity pay? The Labor Law states that all employees regardless if he/she worked in the government or private company is entitled to one. I just got fired and my company said that I am not entitled to gratuity pay as it was not stated on my agreement with them. I have worked in the same company for almost six (6) years. Doesn't the Labor Law supercedes the agreement between the employer and employee. Even if it is not stated on my agreement, doesn't the Labor Law apply to me? Can somebody explain to me this law? Where can I go to lodge my complain?
