1. Whether employees engaged on daily wages(cash basis) comes under purview of the Provident Fund Act?
2. For Provident Fund does an employee has to work for minimum period/days in an year? If yes, how many days at least he is required to work in an year?
The main problem we are facing is we hire few persons(gang)for work for a day or for few days, sometimes through contractor or sometimes directly, so the point is employees in a gang are not certain; anybody can come for work or we might hire a different gang for the other day. Now does such employees are entitled for provident fund and other benefits like ESI, etc??? Thanks

Hello,
I am working as a airline captain with a PSU for the last 14 years.
I intend to resign. My company has a mandated 6 month notice period.
in a recent judgement by mumbai high court is has been said that the service conditions of employees (including self) has changed.
Management has accepted the same by giving a staff notification with 21 days notice period with regard to change in emoluments.
My query is do i really have to give 6 month notice period?
If the answer is NO. please elaborate clearly!
Regards
Capt. S. Srinivasan

Sir, please advice me in which case under the Industrial Disput Act 1947 ' ESPOUSAL' is required and in which type of case not required
Dear sir,
please guide me.....
There is a issue regarding full & final settlement claim after resigning a job. I joined a company in May'13 and resigned a job in Ma'14.
In my offer letter, there was a clause for performance incentive-entitlement of performance incentive could vary based on individual performance and paid to confirmed employees only.
After that in my appointment letter, there was a clause for performance incentive-entitlement of performance incentive would depend on company as well as individual performance and will be payable to those who continue to be on rolls till 31st mar of each year and will be paid after completion of the appraisal process.
Sir, my query is that...
1) There is any remedy for me to claim performance incentive because at the time of offer letter they are not told me about the condition of PI as per appointment letter.
2)I also worked late hours, which is also not paid to me. There is any guidelines for late hours working in the labour law for harassed persons.
Please sir, help me....

I was working with a software company and deployed in one of their client location.
I have attended interviews in both in my parent company and the client company. I was selected on 3rd Oct 2014. I have not received any mail regarding my selection or softcopy of my offer letter. I was forced to come on 4th Oct 2013 to finish the joining formalities in my parent company. But I was given the hardcopy of the offer letter and the appointment letter with 15th Oct 2013 as my joining date, since the client projects starts on that date.
I was also told by the HR that the joining date may be postponed if there is a delay from the client. But I have demanded the HR that I need my joining date to be 15th Oct 2013 and my payroll has to start by then. Since I had two more offers in hand and I had informed the same to HR, they have accepted to pay me from 15th Oct 2013. But the client project started only on 4th Nov 2013. I was recognized by the people in Client location for my work.
In Feb 2014, I got an offer in a startup company and I wanted to join there, since I thought it will help in my career growth. I have sent a resignation mail to my parent company on 10th Feb 2014 stating the same true reason. HR discussions were happened both over phone and in person. But I was firm in my decision to move out. I was first told that, it is not easy to relieve me before the project ends (Client project ends on June 2014). HR was demanding that the mandatory notice period is 60 days and if needed the company can extend it (It was in a hard tone). On my continuous requests, finally they agreed on 60 days of notice period and my last working date might be on 10th Apr 2014. But I have not received anything in written or mail.
During the mid of Mar 2014, they found a replacement and told me to give KT to that person. I was working on weekends also so that there will not be any delay in the task and project timeline (In my notice period). I have sent a mail with my client project leads in CC to my parent company also. I got some news from my colleagues that I will relieved by March end itself, since they got replacement. On 26th Mar 2014, I was enquiring about my last date to the project manager in Client location. He told that 1st Apr 2014 will be my last working day in Client location. Within 10minutes, HR from my parent company called me and told that 28th March 2014 (29th, 30th and 31st March are holidays) with be my last date and they are relieving me since they got a replacement. He asked me to come to parent company office for exiting formalities on 1st Apr 2014. Everything was over phone and nothing is in written or mail.
On 1st Apr 2014, I went to my parent company. HR gave me the forms to fill it. I already got a “NO DUES” form approved by the Client Company and submitted the same. HR told me then that I need to pay notice recovery for the 13 days, since I didn’t server my complete notice of 60days. Also the settlement will be made only on 25th Apr 2014.
I was surprised and argued with the HR saying that relieving me before the notice was the management’s decision and I will not pay any amount.
HR was stating the following during our discussion:
• I have to pay the notice recovery since I have not served the complete notice period. Management has taken the decision to relieve me only since I have resigned. He was asking why I have resigned before the project gets completed.
• Client don’t want to keep me since I have resigned. (He told that “No company will keep employee thinking that a person in notice will not work as expected. But I have worked for the client even during weekends and the client people know about my work well. I have forwarded the appreciation mails to my parent company also.)
• Also since I told them that I am going to join a new company.
• They paid me without any work when I joined. (From 15th Oct 2013 to 4th Nov 2013)
• If I don’t pay, there will be problem in relieving and for background verification for future.
• Also there will be some Audit problem and will be asked why the notice recovery is waived for the employee. They need to answer that.
I escalated to the HR Manger and she stated as follows:
• Why I have not asked the HR that why the company is relieving me before the actual date, when he called on 26th March 2013.
• It should be understood that if you didn’t serve the complete notice, you should pay the notice recovery amount.
• The replacement person is not billable to the client and the parent company is paying him when I was there (For 15days). That is a loss to the company because I have resigned.
• They are not going to force me to pay. But I won’t get my relieving letter.
After the arguments, HR told that he will talk to the finance and management and try to waive my notice recovery. He asked me to call on 10th Apr 2014 to get the update on this issue. But till today, he is telling that the management is not approving the waiver of notice recovery. I have not received my relieving letter also.
In Meanwhile, I have requested my new company and joined on 2nd Apr 2014. I have told my new company that I will be getting my relieving letter and settlement on 25th Apr 2014.
I am getting depressed because of their behavior even when I was very true and open to them. Please let me know what I need to do further.
