Sir, The following scenario occurred in a public sector insurance co.
A Pantry worker was paid 200Rs daily for his work and he also do catering work to a small canteen set up to executives of the insurance co.
He gets almost food he 10,000/- per month as cost of the supplies. In addition to this he is paid the above mentioned Rs.200/- daily for other works in the pantry. There is proof for both the payments. This procss is continuing for 2.5 yrs.Now the co. has decided to stop canteen set up. Can the pantry worker(caterer) claim that he is an employee for 3 yrs citing the proof of payments he has received? What will be the way forward?(there is not at all any contract b/w the insurance co. & the caterer)
