Dear Sir,
My father is an employee in cooperative sector. he has joined as aprenctice worker and after an year of employment was given a proceeding order to work with the organisation on seasonal basis for 3 months. since then a proceding order was given for every 3 month extension. later he was absorbed as daily wage labour on seasonal employment. after the season completed he used towork in the organisation in various capacites in unseason too. the organisation is sugar industry. after ten years of such employment he was given permanent employment in the organisation. he has 35 years of service in the industry. how ever the organisation while calculating gratuity calculated for only permanent period for 15 days and 7 days for the seasonal period though he worked for more than220 days in every year and the initial contract period is completely ignored. They are simply rejecting our claim asking us to provide proofs. they say service record is lost in floods and they dont have any proof. PF account is credited but PF ppl say they are not having record before 1990. pls suggest me proper ways for claim. thanks in advance.

Your father was given as posted by you order for apprentice for 3 months and then proceeding order................
Submit witnesses and let Labor Inspector/ Inspector appointed under Payment of Gratuity Act submit its report.
Puruse RTI route for PF.
