Are all statutory benefits applicable to FTEs also?
Fixed term employment (FTE) is defined in SS Code as an engagement with written contract of employment for a fixed period provided that—hours of work, wages, allowances and other benefits shall not be less than that of a permanent employee doing same/similar work; and shall be eligible for all benefits, under any law for the time being in force, available to a permanent employee. Additionally, FTE is eligible for Gratuity upon 1 year of continuous service.
