Are they deducting Employee’s contribution towards PF or Pension? If yes, then there would be an account opened with the Regulator. Are they paying you by cheque or cash? If you have any of the documentary evidence of your being in service, you can complain to the Labour Department in your area. The biggest action you can take against the company is to leave them, citing non-issue of appointment letter as the reason. But are you comfortable with losing the existing job?

Yes.

The contract can be renewed annually.

And also you can not claim regularisation because you have been there as a temporary employee for long.

there is no legitimate expectation of contractual employees or work charged employees to get regularization. The Supreme Court has categorically observed that people who take employment with open eyes for a contractual period or for a specific project cannot claim regularization and there is no equity in their favour inasmuch as the equity is in favour of millions who have been waiting for public employment through the regular recruitment process outweighs the equities claimed by the limited number of employees.

2) you can be employed as temporary at hospital for more than 5 years

If the job is on the basis of employment contract which extends every year, then you cannot be made permanent unless hospital wants it. But if no such agreement is made then you can ask them to make you permanent.

Generally after 6 months of probation you are absorbed as permanent employee. If not you can seek reason for the same from HR

No PIL can't be filed online. Any legal action in the instant matter has to be taken physically.

My advise to you is to meet-in person a local lawyer with all the relevant case papers.

. Yes they can be made to work under contractual job through a contractor, however you can make a representation to the management for making you permanent employee as and when the vacancy arises.

However this cannot be claimed as a right.

In Indian Labour Law there is no difference in benefits of a temporary or a permanent employee. Any organisation though may build its own employee policies to differentiate between the two and grant them varied benefits. There may be some difference with respect to workmen.

Fixed-term employment contracts in the context of workmen are allowed in India, provided that the employer hires such persons only a requirement that is short term in nature.

The same has been construed to mean an arrangement that lasts for a maximum of 7 (seven) years.

The courts have long held the view that successive fixed-term agreements cannot be used as a substitute for employing a workman on a “permanent” or “unlimited term” basis merely to bypass the statutory provisions and to get benefits out of them.

The courts have also ruled that fixed term employment is not meant to be permitted in roles that are permanent by the very virtue of their nature, as far as the particular employer or industry is concerned.

Fixed-term employment agreements can be signed between the employer and employee, or such relationship may be established through the use of a contractor as envisaged under the provisions of the CLRA Act.

While employees on fixed-term employment agreements are not entitled to all the benefits given to permanent employees, such as gratuity, leaves, Provident Fund, etc. (unless such employees are engaged through contractors – in which case it is the responsibility of the said contractor to ensure the same) they are not however assured of other benefits under the act, such as retrenchment among others.

1) If you are signing every year a contract agreement than its nor possible to file case against hospital.

2) Best way you resign and join another company that of your same profile, if hospital needed you than they will ask you to wait back than you can put your terms and conditions.

PIL can be filed for public interest and not for interest of some particular group of public.

You can file writ under art. 226 in HC or under art. 32 in SC stating your fundamental right is harmed by this.
