Time from date of joining to today, or to the last working day for those who have left. Reported as a distribution by grade, function or location rather than as a single average, which tends to conceal exactly the pattern worth seeing.
Tenure is calculated from the date of joining in the employee master, so the first job is to make sure that date is right. Rehires, transfers from a group company and staff converted from contract to payroll are where it is most often wrong, and each has its own rule on whether earlier service counts.
Tenure drives several decisions through the year: eligibility for leave entitlements that grow with service, long-service awards, notice periods that differ by service band, and gratuity, which under the Payment of Gratuity Act 1972 applies after five years of continuous service, with exceptions on death or disablement.
As an example, an employee who joined on 10 August 2021 and leaves on 1 August 2026 is a few days short of five years. Whether that counts for gratuity turns on how continuous service and days worked are read under the Act, so check the case rather than rounding up.

Both run from joining; continuous service is what statutory tests like gratuity use.
