Contract employees of the company ( They help in serving food,and do housekeeping activties in the company).
They are in the company for around 8 years . Is gratuity applicable to them because they are working for the company for more than 5 years ? or Is it not applicable because they are not our employees ? Which is as per Law correct ? Our company now ( first time after 7 years from they been appointed as contract employees ) have given their salary details to the Actuary for Gratuity Valuation .
Overall Question is Can such Contract employees ( who are working for more than 5 years ) be entitled to our Gratuity Beneit ?
