Dear All,
Need your help and guidance. I was employed with one of my previous company from Dec 2004 till Apr 2014. During Feb 2008, they decided to sell their one of the division. I was part of that global takeover but I never moved to new company office. Was sitting with the same old team at the same work station. The company who took over that business wanted me to move to Mumbai which I said no and within next two months I moved to another division of my old company and was their till 2012.
I was not aware about the gratuity thing till the time I encashed my PF from that old company. Now when I am going to my old company that I was there from 2004 till 2012, they saying that the service got break during those two months Feb 2008 & Apr 2008 when new company take over.
Would it be considered as break in service? I was never moved physically to any other building. My salary was getting credited to same account. I was working on the same work station. The only thing is that when I resigned, I got a letter from new company stating that I was working with Company A and that was being taken over by another.
Please help and if there is any such case which can be referred, let me know.
Also if there is any legal person who can help, please let me now.
