Hello, I wanted to know whether Foreman (Maintenance Dept.) and employees (60 plus) on a contract basis (Foreman, Electrician & Store Asst.) will be eligible for retrenchment compensation in the state of Uttarakhand.
Currently, the foreman is the head of the maintenance department. And draws a salary of 35k p.m.
Contract Employees salary:- Foreman - 35k p.m, Electrician - 14k p.m and Store Asst. - 16k p.m
Does office staff fall under this benefit. Also, what other factors must be taken for a worker's classification to be eligible for retrenchment benefit?
Thanks.

Retrenchment compensation is payable to all workers who do not have any subordinate or reportees under them. But the Foreman being the head of a department should be having supervisory rights and hence he will not be entitled to get any retrenchment compensation. At the same time, if he is appointed for a fixed period (say two years) then terminating that contract before the expiry of the fixed period would involve premature termination of contract and the same should be made only by following the terminal clause of the contract of employment.
