Mr. Kumaran:

Did company include your position in its standing orders?

You may try:

Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

Section: 2A
Continuous service.

(b) for the said period of six months, if the employee during the period of six calendar months preceding the date with reference to which the calculation is to be made, has actually worked under the employer for not less than -

(i) ninety-five days, in the case of an employee employed below the ground in a mine or in an establishment which works for less than six days in a week; and

Explanation: For the purpose of clause (2), the number of days on which an employee has actually worked under an employer shall include the days on which -

(i) he has been laid-off under an agreement or as permitted by standing orders made under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 (20 of 1946), or under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), or under any other law applicab1c to the establishment;

Valuable advice of learned experts/members is sought.

Dear Sir,

            as salary restriction in place , how come we come under industrial dispute act ?

Salary or designation alone does not decide.

Has the comapny extended its standing orders to your designation/position?
