In our union, a new employee has been offered a one-year employment contract. It will be renewed for the next year upon the completion of the one-year period. Every year at the beginning of his employment with the union, a one-day break is given (assuming that there is a fresh employment every year) and no salary will be paid on the day of the break.

Gratuity Eligibility Question

My question is, in the absence of a day in a year, and the union assumes that there is a fresh appointment every year, even if an employee completes 5 years of service, will he be eligible for gratuity? Or will he not be eligible for any gratuity?

Please clarify my doubt.

Thank you,

Kvrao

Dear Mr. Rao,

Can an employee be engaged by a union for work? Whether such workers come under the purview of the Gratuity Act? Is it a hypothetical question? Please furnish the nature of the activity carried on by the union and registered under which act?
