Hi Antojoseph
Your company is considering you as an employee hence company deduct PF & ESIC. Though you were called “Trainee” it is just a nomenclature, it’s not under the Apprentice Act, where they can pay stipend without PF deductions.
As per our interactions with Industry experts, we know few methods followed in the companies.
1. 1 year trainee (GET/DET) + 6 months probation => confirmation
2. 6 months trainee + 6 months probation => confirmation
3. 1.5 year trainee (GET/DET) => confirmation
4. 3 months trainee + 3 months probation => confirmation
5. 6 months probation => confirmation
6. 3 months probation => confirmation
7. 2 years trainee + 6 months probation => confirmation
(All above does not include ITI Trainees)
Increment Part:
Increment is not the right of employee, it’s the privilege given by organization to retain best talent.
You may negotiate with HR Manager directly on the compensation part.
If you feel that you are getting less than minimum wages, please highlight to management.
See the rules applied in past for all trainees, if there are precedence you can discuss with supervisor.
As long as you are happy with your earning and learning, avoid approaching, if you find injustice is being done, you may approach politely to your HR manager.
Above is our personal opinion, please here out all expects and you may take a call.
