What is the service ?
Employers now have the untroubled advantage of handling their core activities all by themselves without getting distracted by non-core activities, which do indeed consume a lot of their time, effort and energy, which can be passed on to the secondary line of indirect employees deployed by the contractors on the premises of the principal employer. For this purpose, there is legislation provided under the Contract Labour Act, a statute that has been enacted to keep an eye on the employee-related benefits of the indirect employees working as a part and parcel of the mainstream channel in the precincts of the employer. This Act regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishments and prohibits such employment in certain circumstances.
Under Section 10, the government is empowered to prohibit the employment of contract labour in any process, operation, or other work in any establishment, and it can be prohibited irrespective of the number of workers, more or less than the specified number in any establishment, or by a contractor. Since the government has the powers to act under the provisions of this Act, it cannot, therefore, refer the dispute to the Industrial Tribunal.
The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act is an important piece of social legislation and seeks to regulate the employment of contract labour, or it can abolish the same. This being a piece of social legislation, for the welfare and benefits of the labourers, is well construed and maintainable by the vendor partners at all times who are entrusted with this non-core work by the principal employer, like housekeeping, electrical and maintenance, supply of manpower resources, gardening, security, bus and car services, transportation, cleaning and upkeep of factory and office premises, and many more.
It is important to note that sections 16, 17, 18, and 19 of the act and the rules made thereunder cast obligations on an employer to provide certain amenities for ensuring the health and welfare of the contract labour. However, it has also been provided that for any such amenity provided, the principal employer has the right to recover all the expenses incurred by him in providing such amenity and can even make deductions from the amount payable. Further more, Section 29 of the Act enjoins every principal employer and every contractor to maintain the registers and records detailing exact particulars of contract labour employed, the nature of work performed, the rates of wages paid, and other particulars in the prescribed formats.
It is very much in this context that Karma Management Global Consulting Solutions Private Ltd., India’s leading labour law icons, plays a significant and sensitive role in identifying and highlighting to the principal employer or clients any shortcomings towards extending or depriving employee-related benefits to indirect employees, on the part of the vendor partners or those seeking to take a short cut by circumventing the rules and regulations enacted by the authorities for this purpose.
How we do it and by using what tools ?
As we all know, regulatory compliance is a set of rules, such as a specification, policy, or law, that ensures an organization or a business house is following the standards set for the industry or institution by the respective authority. The rules that govern the organizations are usually set by the government, parliamentary legislation, or government regulatory authorities for organizational, social, environmental, and economic betterment. The norms and rules are related to various issues, such as economic, public interest, and environmental.
Due to the increasing number of regulations and the need for operational transparency, organizations are desirous of achieving this in their efforts to ensure that they are aware of and are taking measures to comply with relevant policies, laws, and regulations. Since laws have been evolving, regulations have always been a dilemma for many as to how one goes about this mandatory lawful obedience. There is a mix of opinions. Some say regulations are downgrading the work of organizations and there should be a free and liberalized economy, whereas some economists and political thinkers say that regulatory compliance plays a vital role in promoting risk assessment. However, since governments have formulated regulatory compliances, the organizations must adhere to the regulatory compliances and toe the line, or else they will have to face the consequences.
