Compensation

An unskilled labourer had been working under a Contract Firm for a Public Sector Undertaking. He was employed in a Chemical plant of the said Undertaking without proper training.

The Contract Firm which supplied him as man-power to perform the duties of the said Undertaking is a registered firm of the said Undertaking. The P. F. deductions for the said Labourer was regularly made by the said Public Sector Undertaking during his employment.

While on duty the said labourer died at the premises of the said Undertaking. But, after his death both the Contract Firm as well as the said Public Sector Undertaking shows indifference towards any compensation or responsibility demanded by his dependents.

Now, the question is that whether it is the responsibility of the Contract Firm to pay necessary compensation to the dependents or whether the Contract Firm can be demanded for Compensation or not.

Difference between "letter of offer of emploment" and "appointment letter"

Dear experts,

An employee left a company to start his own business but experienced loss and finally closed his new business.

Fortunately one of his old colleague who was working on his post after he left the company also resigned and he again applied for the same post on which he was working but this time company send his a single page letter with heading "Offer of employment" in which it is written that it is a fresh employment with same terms and condition and on the same salary which he was receiving 4 year back when he left

He contacted the HR department to give him proper appointment letter after considering increased cost of living index but they refused by saying that they are not willing to issue new appointment letter.

Is it not against law that a fresh employment must be with proper and new appointment letter and old appointment letter expires as soon as an employee left the job

Maternity benefit act - 80 days - eligibility?

Dear Experts,

For workers the wages are being calculated for 26 days ( i.e. no weekly off is being paid to them )

So as per eligibility for 80 days the weekly off would be excluded ( if the woman is from worker category )

Is my interpretation is correct?

Whether two companies be said to be of same management

Dear experts,

Consider the following scenerio

There are two companies A and B

Company A has two units one manufacturing Water pumps motors and other manufacturing Capacitors in a state.

Due to expiry of exemptions of sales tax in the state company A closed it manufacturing operation of water pumps in the state and shifted the manufacturing operation in state B which was giving that exemption. The other manufacturing unit of capacitors was given to company B on conducting basis under an agreement of owner and conductor.

Employees of Capacitor unit of company 'A' were given full and final settlement without gratuity and new appointment letter (of next date of resignation from company A)in company B were issued to the employees with a clause in appointment letter of company 'B' that for gratuity purpose their service will be treated as continuous

Also the two directors of company B are wives of two directors and promoters of company A

Now my question to experts is whether we can say that 1) Company 'A' and company 'B' belongs to same Management since Directors of both company are relatives

2) Employees of company A who got new appointment in company B without a single day break in their service are in continuous service of same management who controls both company
