Regular worker, daily wager equal under Gratuity Act: HC

IndiaTimes Sunday, 31 December 2023
The Payment of Gratuity Act does not differentiate between a regular employee and a daily wage employee, the Karnataka HC observed while directing the state government to settle the arrears of a 75-year-old retired Group-D employee in relation to the period when he worked as a daily wager. Allowing the petition filed by Basavegowda, Justice M Nagaprasanna pointed out that the Supreme Court in the Senior Superintendent of Post Offices vs Gursewak Singh case, had ruled in favour of Gramin Dak Sewaks though they were part-time employees.
