I am searching for the judgment in The Payment of Gratuity Act;
The Employee has worked in 3-4 different establishments where all the Owners are different but the place of work is the same, and the job of the employee is the same.
All the establishments are working as contractors for the Principal Employer. All the establishments are closed at intervals of 3 to 4 years.
Let's say:
1. A Firm started in Jan 2012 & closed in Dec 2015
2. B Firm started in Jan 2016 & closed in Dec 2018
3. C Firm started in Feb 2019 & closed in Mar 2022
4. D Firm started in Apr 2022 & remains in operation till date.
In such a case, my opinion is that the employee is eligible for Gratuity.
