Hi All, I am very new to this forum. I have joined a small IT organization in the PMO team. They hired me on a contract for 3 months, and my contract ended on 1st Dec. They have now extended the contract for another 3 months, totaling 6 months. They are saying that I cannot take any leaves. Is there any leave that I can take as they say that they do not have any for contractual employees in the organization? How can a person work without any leaves? Also, they can again extend my contract after March 2021 and say no leaves? Can anyone suggest if there is any law related to this or as an employee what is it that I can ask them for?

Nature of Employment: Temporary or Prolonged?
Is the nature of the job you are doing purely temporary, or is it likely to be much more prolonged? It is shocking to see such a one-sided employment agreement. The three-month contract is a deliberate ploy to avoid the required legal compliances and exploit the situation to the maximum. At any rate, the ITES setup has to be registered under the respective state Shops & Establishment Act and is bound by it. The employer will not be able to escape the legal liability using this method. A complaint to the local labor office can expose them.

They say that they will make it permanent on 2nd March if everything goes well. But my question is, how can anyone work without taking leave? I would like to know if I would be eligible to take any leaves as per the law.

Yes, to work continuously for six months without taking a single day off is inhuman and unbearable. It will have serious health implications. Although there is a promise to make you regular in March 2021, looking at its policies, is it worth making any long-term commitment?
