Dear Sir(s).
My query is that;
As per law is it an obligation that retrenchment compensation be given on prorata basis for those employees who have not completed a year?
I have scanned through posts & Acts but no where I found any concrete explanation that it is must to pay retrenchment compensation for employees on prorata basis.
Kindly share your views

Dear Ms. Anupama Mane,
Please refer to the section under the Industrial Dispute Act for you ready reference --
25F. Conditions precedent to retrenchment of workmen —No workman employed in any industry who has been in continuous service for not less than one year under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until—
(a) the workman has been given one month's notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment and the period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for the period of the notice;
(b)* the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to fifteen days' average pay for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of six months; and
(c) notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government or such authority as may be specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette.
*Continuous service of 240 paid days (including weekoffs, leaves& holidays) in a year is considered to be one year of service with the employer.
Hope this helps you to understand.
