Jurisprudence on Compulsory Retirement In one case, Pantranco North Express Inc. v. NLRC, the Supreme Court emphasized that employers could not force employees to retire if they had not reached the retirement age agreed upon, especially if such age was lower than the statutory minimum age of 60.
Upon Resignation For employees who have worked for 3-5 years, their gratuity consists of 2/3rd of their basic salary of 21 days for each year of service. After 5 years or more of service, an employee's gratuity consists of their complete basic salary of 21 days for each year of service.
