Contract employees, if employed on wages i.e. monthly wages are eligible for payment of Gratuity. Any workman engaged for work on temporary basis according to the availability of work is not an employee. Therefore if contract workmen are engaged on wages for a continuous period of five years or more, then only they become eligible for payment of gratuity.

Every workman/employee is a contractual employee. If he fulfills the condition, he is eligible for the grant of the gratuity irrespective of his status.
