Dear friend,

May I request you to reread my reply on the concept of casual employment or temporary engagement of labor in contradistinction to the concept of regular employment? When the engagement of labor is factually irregular, intermittent, or occasional, how can it be precisely defined with reference to periodicity? Periodicity is essentially marked by the element of regularity in interval. That's why section 25-B(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act introduces a legal fiction in defining the term continuous service as a period of uninterrupted service that may be interrupted due to certain happenings not attributable to the fault of the workman. When a workman is not in continuous service within the generality of the meaning of ss(1), ss(2) of sec.25-B demands the computation in absolute numbers of 240 days in a period of the preceding 12 months or 120 days in a period of the preceding six months. It is better you read the entire section 25-B for further details.

From India, Salem
