Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act 1970

Under Section 1 the establishment will have to have registration if the employer engages 20 or more contract labour in last 12 preceeding months. Similarly if contractor engages 20 or more contract labour in last 12 preceeding months tnen he has to have licence. However, it is not mandatory that all the 20 contract labour are engaged in one single establishment. i.e. He can have 10 labour in "A" establishment, 5 labour in "B" establishment and another 5 labour in "C" establishment. Even in the above sinario he will have to go for licence. Kindly confirm.

TERMINATION OF APPOINTMENT OBTAINED BY FRAUD.

Dear Experts/Sirs/Madam,

Kindly give your valuable opinion on this matter.

Pursuant to the orders passed by the SUPREME Court in a proceeding, the employer was required to regularise contract labourers working in the establishment on or before 20 January 1997. However, some of the persons who were actually not workers of the contractor on the said date managed to create false records in collusion with the Personal Manager of the establishment and accordingly obtained appointments on regular basis. Thereafter, matter was found out and after departmental proceedings, the Personal Manager was dismissed. Further, after issuing show cause notices and on consideration of their replies thereof and after giving personal hearins also, all concerned persons who were wrongly appointed , were terminated by the establishment but without regular departmental inquiries against them. Whether such termination or regular employee, though obtained employment on such fradulent means, without regular displinary enquiry,is legally tenable or not. Your opinion alongwith any supporting citations would be highly obliged please.

contract issues

This is with regards to a contract employment-- we 2 employees employed on a contract by an indian contractor but working for an MNC from the past 25 & 12 years respectively.. Off late we are having a lot of issues with our contract..It has not been renewed from the past six months but we have been receiving salary.. Now they tried taking one employee out but was not able to do as is surfaced the contract documentation was inappropriate.. Now they have been asked by the MNC to close this contract and put us in the indian pay role.. The contractor wants us to sign a document of acceptance on the same.. They will pay us us PF accumulated and gratuity.. they want us to wipe the years of service we have put in.. and start fresh in the new company , but we are reluctant as we know we wont be in that employment for more than 6 months as then they have a right to check us out.. Secondly can we claim retrenchment compensation due to closure of the old contract or any way to account for the years we have put it...

Request an urgent response as this will have to be closed by next month
