A vested share is a share in a company stock that is fully owned by an employee. Most people who own employee stock become vested after a few years of service with the company.
Being a vested employee means that your rights to pension benefits are paid up and therefore not contingent on the employee's continuing in the service of the employer. Erisa (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) stipulates that employees be at least 25% vested in benefits derived from employer contributions after 5 years. By the time the employee has worked for 15 years their vesting must have risen to 100%.
No, you are considered an active duty service member.

PF and Gratuity are two schemes designed to benefit the employees of the private sector. In PF a small portion of the employees salary is deducted and deposited with the government PF office and at the time of retirement it is paid as a lump sum to help the employee lead his life peacefully in spite of retirement and loss of monthly income. Gratuity is a scheme to motivate people to serve for longer durations with the same employer. Anybody who has served an organization for more than 5 years is eligible for Gratuity. A portion of your last drawn salary would be multiplied with the number of years of service and paid out to you when you leave an organization after years of service.
