He said that PCMC should take responsibility as the \u2018Principal Employer\u2019 to prevent financial exploitation of contract workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhosale explained that under the current system, when a municipal contract changes, the old contractor leaves. Even after working for several years, employees often fail to receive their gratuity after retirement or termination, as new contractors refuse responsibility for previous dues. He pointed out that many tender conditions do not clearly include gratuity provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To resolve the issue permanently, Bhosale has suggested that PCMC should open a separate bank account as the principal employer for workers. He proposed that all future tenders should make it mandatory for contractors to deposit amounts towards employees\u2019 gratuity, Diwali bonus, and other legal benefits into this account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, this system would ensure that workers\u2019 accumulated gratuity remains safe with the municipal corporation even if contractors change, allowing employees to receive their rightful benefits without delay at the time of retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bhosale said that <strong>Mayor Ravi Landge<\/strong> and <strong>Standing Committee Chairman Abhishek Barane<\/strong> have supported the proposal and assured that necessary action will be taken soon to ensure financial security for contract employees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pimpri : Labour leader and President of Rashtriya Shramik Aghadi, Yashwant Bhosale has demanded that the gratuity and bonus benefits<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2242,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[56],"class_list":["post-2241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-pcmc"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-150x150.png","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-300x163.png","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-392x272.png","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-390x205.png","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-130x90.png","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-150x150.png","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pimpri : Labour leader and President of Rashtriya Shramik Aghadi, Yashwant Bhosale has demanded that the gratuity and bonus benefits","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":3,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale.png",605,328,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-300x163.png",300,163,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/yashwant-bhosale-150x150.png",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
