The impression posted in this post is first hand feeling that is based on limited understanding from the post of the Author…………….Mr. Surajit (Student).

The matter should be examined by a competent and experienced labor Consultant/Service matter’s lawyer/Law firm……………………..as your able lawyer may like to examine it from various points.

The employee has been on the same job for 8 years.

The employer has utilized the employee’s
resources/abilities to its fullest for 8 long years.

If the post is permanent the person doing the job be also permanent.

Has the employer created any ‘Artificial Breaks in Service’?

Fixed Term Contract or Specified Purpose Contract……………………whatever it is, he might have completed 240 days in service.

There might not be any need or any letter stating that the service has been regularized/confirmed.


Look, he is eligible for notice if the services is to be terminated, and probably that is why he has been issued a notice………………………probably that as stated in the Contract his service shall end on dated………………..as specified in the contract………………………………..Or is it that he is being terminated before such date?

He might also be eligible for termination compensation @ 15 days wages for each completed year of service.

He should be eligible for social security benefits available to other confirmed employees right from beginning of his service e.g. annual leave, PF, ESIC, Gratuity etc.


Refer the case to a competent and experienced labor Consultant/Service matter’s lawyer/Law firm.
