Continuous Service Definition Explained

Summary

Continuous service under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, is defined as uninterrupted service by an employee, requiring at least 240 days of work in a year. This includes days actually worked, paid leave, legal holidays, lay-off days, and days of strike or lock-out not caused by the employee. If employment is terminated, service is considered continuous if the employee has worked 240 days in the preceding 12 months. Understanding these provisions is crucial for resolving disputes related to employment continuity.
