The status depends on such an 'Appointment order" signed by the employer and accepted by the employee..  The employee has every right to make a complaint to the Local Labour Commissioner, together with the appointment order for the trainee received from the employer at the time of joining as a trainee and the latest salary slip.  The gross violation is apparent and exploitation of the ignorance of employee is not proper on the part of the employer.

How is the services of the "trainee" being utilised - as a trainee or a full fledged employee or a workman? If the latter, matter needs to be taken up with the appropriate authority.

An employee should not be retained as trainee for 4 years as stated by you.

Show the appointment letter to a local lawyer.

The conditions of confirmation of the employment would be mentioned in the employment offer letter which has been signed by both the employer and the employee.

If the employer is at wrong or violating the labour laws or his own terms and conditions in this regard, the employee has the option to seek remedies through legal sources particularly through labor court.
