EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

nOTE 21: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company’s Gratuity Plan for all of their Indian based entities provides for lump sum payment to vested employees on retirement or upon termination of employment in an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and years of employment with the Company. Liabilities with regard to the Gratuity Plans are determined by actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. Current service costs for the Gratuity Plan are accrued in the year to which they relate. Actuarial gains or losses or prior service costs, if any, resulting from amendments to the plans are recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the employees.

The benefit obligation has been measured as of December 31, 2021. The gratuity plan is unfunded. The following table sets forth the activity of the Gratuity Plans and the amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021:
