An employee is presumed to have worked for one year provided he had worked at least for 240 days (above the ground) or 190 days (below the ground) For calculating this 240/ 190 days, the number of casual or other eligible leave days availed by him during the year, the number of days he was laid off, number of days he was on sick leave after any employment injury, number of days of maternity leave, in case of woman employee, will be treated as days worked. Therefore, if taking all these in to account, the employee had at least 240/190 days, he is suppose to be served with notice and paid compensation. Regards, Madhu.T.K
