The gratuity is due after 5 years of continuous work. It is the responsibility of the contractor to quote or accept a rate that covers everything for a long-term contract.
In most work orders, it is stated that the contractor must comply with all rules currently in force and any new rules, such as changes in minimum wage rates, laws, and regulations, should be considered by the principal employer or reimbursed by them.
In the instant case, the reply would be that gratuity is not a new imposition. There is no reason on your side to deny it; instead, take up the matter with the principal employer for consideration. Your work order provides the solution; it is essential to carefully read what is mentioned. Do not interpret that these views are intended to undermine your claim; they are based on practical experience.

Why is an employee denied payment of gratuity amidst the dispute between the principal employer and contractor? If the liability exists, payment should be made. If unable to pay, it is advisable to approach the local labor office for grievances and redressal if the matter is not resolved within 15 days after the claim.
