What is the service about ?
As we all know, any company or establishment or principal employer whose work and hiring patterns fall under the criteria of applicability of CLRA needs to apply for CLRA registration. Whereas the contractor requires a CLRA license from the appropriate government for contracting workers to establishments.
The government of India passed the CLRA or Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act in the year 1970. The terms of the Act help in averting the exploitation of subcontracting work and establishing better working conditions for contracted employees. As per the terms of the CLRA Act in India, all contract labours are indirect employees of the organization where they have been hired to work through a contractor.
Any establishment that employs contract labour needs to be registered under the Act and required a CLRA license to continue its hiring process.
