Dear Sir, In view of the decision of our management and as discussed the contract workers working under two different contractors/employer appears to be surplus and are still working under contractor/employer (SKS) & (BEW )for which, we have already instructed the said contractors/employer (SKS) & (BEW) to retrench the surplus workers around 10 to 15 after complying the relevant provisions of labor law including PF,ESIC,PW,MW,Bonus etc.
Now a question arises that there are some contract workers who have already put in more than 5 years of service as they are demanding for gratuity in such circumstances kindly indicate in detail.
Query ::
1. Whether these contract workers are eligible to get gratuity as provided under the payment of gratuity act 1972 ?
2 . whether the payment gratuity act is extended to contract labor regulation and abolition act 1970, if yes, then what circumstances?
3. Any judicial pronouncement in this regards.
Please enlighten us by giving suitable opinion as per the queries mentioned in this text.
