Dear Bhaskar, Thank you for the prompt reply. Now, he was employed as a driver in a school, ferrying the schoolchildren for a period of 21 years, so his nature of the job amounts to permanent employment. His net salary (last payable) was ₹22,272 in 2013. The salary slip I have is from 2008, which includes remittances under various heads like D.P, D.A, H.R.A, and C.C.A, besides the basic pay and deductions under P.F (in tune with 2008 wages). Lastly, there is no appointment letter, so I presume it is as per the Standing Orders. Regards

I do not know who has given you the impression that you are eligible for payment of retrenchment compensation/benefit. Let me make it clear that teachers are not covered under the definition of workmen stipulated in the Industrial Disputes Act, and as such, they are not eligible for retrenchment compensation/benefit. One should understand that this benefit does not automatically accrue based on long service or termination, like the payment of gratuity. Rather, it carries a number of conditions before resorting to retrenchment. Of course, you will be eligible for other benefits as per the school's policy.
