The applicant is not entitled to gratuity payments under the second and third contracts because the law prohibits double benefits for employees who are members of a social security fund. The contract terms must be interpreted in light of the governing statutes, which require that gratuity be deducted and remitted to the social security fund if the employee is a member. The respondent acted lawfully in making the deductions, and the applicant failed to prove entitlement to additional gratuity beyond what was remitted to the fund.
