Dear Sir,
I recently came accross one case study on gratuity payment. The case is in on company (XYZ), few workers are working for above 5 years under one contractor (C1). Recently they have changed the contractor (C2) who is associated with that same company but thos workers are still working with the same company (XYZ). Now they are demanding gratuity...so who is liable to pay...principle employer or contractor???

Dear Abhishek,
This is totally contractual job so contractor should pay the gratuity to them if contractor fail or denny to pay then principal employee will be totally liable to pay..
I think it is sufficient to understand.

Dear
Actually as per the Contractor Agreement with the Principle Employer and Work order issued to him monthly Contractor will claim the CTC amount and the same liable amount can be transferred to other contractor after discussion with Management. Because both Contractors are working with the same Principle Employer.
Correct me if am wrong.

Changing the contractor without changing the contractor's labour is a very good example of sham contract. If the contract is not genuine or is sham, the engagement of labour through contractor will be viewed as an attempt to deter rights of workmen under various Labour enactments. And if these workmen have been engaged in core areas of operations wherein regular workmen are also employed or can be employed, the deployment will be illegal. In such scenario the workers who were engaged through an outside agency (contractor) will have right to claim regularisation or demand gratuity if they are leaving the (principal) employer after 5 years of continuous service.

Note: 1. As far as possible do not engage contract labour in core/main operations which are regular or perennial in nature which could have been performed by regular employees.

2. While changing contractor please ensure that the new contractor places new employees and no workmen of the old contractor is absorbed by the new contractor.

Sorry, I could not find anything which permits a contractor to work on manufacturing process. Moreover, section 10 deals with prohibition of contract labour on operations of perennial nature. Please explain the procedure by which govvernemnt will grant such licence to a contractor.

Making voucher payment will not make any difference because by doing this their status remains the same. Madhu.T.K
