If the establishment works for 6 days/week or less than 6 days/week and employee has worked for 240/190 days/year then employee is a eligible.

If employee has worked for 4.6 years then employee is not eligible.

The condition of 6 months 1 day to be counted as 1year applies for after 5 years.

Therefore count accordingly and take DOJ-LWD as reference days.
