Why should we pay bonus,gratuity, leaves, notice pay to daily wage workers.

Dear Mr. Harbhajan.
I have come across one issue. We have a branch in Neiveli ( chennai)where we are working for BHEL company. We have hired 25 workers on daily wage and 2 on monthly. Those who are on daily wages are under Neiveli labour License purview.
Now some workers are doing some agitations. But our representative who is on monthly rolls insisting on unofficial negotiations for Full and Final Settlements as we wanted to remove 4 daily wage workers.
Here important issue that even though they are under daily wage, we are paying monthly once in to their bank accounts (no. of days worked * daily wage)..hence it is not a salary but a wage.

Now, it seems local trade union met chennai asst labour commissioner and unauthorizedly made the following issues to follow if we need to remove. Here I have a doubt..whether are they really come under law ? or simply that Labour Commissioner supporting these union ?
Can we oppose this ?

Those points are :
1. we should pay 20 days' leave wages for every 240 days completed.

2. We should pay 15 days pay for every 240 days completed. ( might be gratuity).

3. We should pay Conveyance allowance of Rs. 200 every month for the service they have completed.

4. We should give either one month notice or pay 26 days notice pay amount now itself.

Here we can assume that they have joined on 1.12.06 and working till now.

I have a doubt, if these are daily labour why should we pay bonus, gratuity, leaves salary, conveyance ( no law), and notice pay..?
How to go for argument with that Chennai Labour Commissioner in this regard and how can we support this ?

subsistence allowance and standing orders

Dear sir,we had a earlier discussion regarding above matter,under your guidence i asked about 'certified standing orders' to my HR and inquiry officer but they neglected my question and told me that we have already sent you all details about this matter,but still i did not receive any single letter regarding this matter from their end,i think,either they dont have any certified standing orders or they dont want to provide me the same,now what to do?
one more Question- six months have been passed,therefore i requsted to HR and Inquiry officer to increase my subsistence allowance(50% to 75% of my total salary)but he denied and sent me a letter as 'The Domestic inquiry is delayed at your cause and as per the law of Natural Justice you are not entitled for any subsistence allowance for such period'
while they make a barrier in the way of my defence representative (who is co-employee of my company)to attend my domestic inquiry,now in this situation what would i do,kindly guide me,thanks

Review DPC and adhoc promotion

Sir, Shall be greatful if you could givet your expert opinion on the following facts and questions.

An adhoc promotion was given pending criminal case. CS has been filed and framing of charges has not taken place for the past 8 years.Sanction order issued but it is defective as there is no pecuniery loss to the company on the date of sanction.All the money had been received before the date of sanction. However the sanction do mentions there is loss which was later clarified to Prosecution that all the mpney was received adn to take a view to continue the case or not.

Q1. An adhoc promotion was given. now next DPC is due and applicant is eligible otherwise for appearing for the DPC. During ad-hoc promotion can we call the applicant to face DPC for the next promotion. Pl. give reasoning in either case.

Q2. When the Review DPC is warrented.The earlier DPC was informed about the Criminal FIR, arrest and release of the applicant and also pending CS. Though the then DPC would not have taken these information, still they would have been biased in thier decision.The above ad-hoc was given based on the finding of the subsequent DPC. Can the Review DPC is warrented to make the record stright.

Pl. give SC or any HC decision to support with citation.


Regards
