Hi, I joined the IT organization in hyderabad on 14th August 2012 and my last working day in the organization would be 31st July 2013.
Would I be eligible for service compensation as per Andhrapradesh workmenship act. My company told me it should be one year to get eligible. But since i worked for 350 days would I be eligible???

What is this “Andhrapradesh workmenship act.”?
We are not aware.
IT companies are covered by AP ANDHRA PRADESH SHOPS AND ESTABLISHMENTS ACT.
You may go thru the provisions of this enactment.
As per this enactment:
47. Conditions for terminating the services of an employee, payment of service compensation for termination, retirement, resignation, disablement, etc., and payment of subsistence allowance for the period of suspension :-
(3) Every employee who has put in a continuous service of not less than one year shall be eligible for service compensation amounting to fifteen days average wages for each year of continuous employment, (i) on voluntary cessation of his work after completion of 60 years of age, (ii) on his resignation, or (iii) on physical or mental infirmity duly certified by Registered Medical Practitioner, or (iv) on his death or disablement due to accident or disease:
Provided that the completion of continuous service of one year shall not be necessary where the termination of the employment of an employee is due to death or disablement:
Provided further that in a case of death of an employee service compensation payable to him shall be paid to his nominee or if no nomination has been made to his legal heir.

Hi,
Yes, IT companies here are covered by this act..
But I have doubt regarding the eligibility whether 350 days will count for the service compensation..
