Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 | Daily Wager Service Counts Toward Gratuity Upon Regularization: Allahabad HC Affirms Netram Sahu Precedent
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that service rendered as a daily wager must be included in gratuity calculations once the employee is regularized, aligning with the Supreme Court’s holding in Netram Sahu. This decision protects thousands of informal workers whose long-term service was previously disregarded, reinforcing that regularization erases the distinction between temporary and permanent tenure for statutory benefits.
