I worked in a private school as a Lecturer from 5th January 1998 to 30th September 2003 and again from 1st April 2007 to 15th June 2011 (in 2nd tenure also, my seniority was to be calculated from 5 January 1998, as agreed in the reappointment letter).
After while leaving job first time, I requested to pay gratuity and I was told that they will check with the rules of institution and inform. Nothing happened. While leaving 2nd time also, I requested for the same, after sending a reminder, they asked me to fill Form \"I\" and in response to that they sent a letter rejecting the claim on the ground of \"Due to lack of continuity in service\".
I feel that they should combine the two terms together as they promised to count my seniority from my earlier joining date. Hence they should pay gratuity for a total of 9 years 11 months.
If not so, at least for my first term (5 years and 9 months) I must get it.
Please help me to find what is the legal and logical position ?
Thank you.
