Continuous service of one year means working for 240 days in the year including off days, authorised leave and festival holidays or the holidays on days when the establishment did not function. You have thus completed 5 years of service and became eligible for gratuity. If your employer is not paying you the same, proceed according to Payment of Gratuity Act. Put a demand notice to the employer as per Act and if he does not pay approach the authority under the Act.
