Payment of salary during injury period under W.C.Act.

Sirs,

Under W.C.Act there is provision for payment of 15 days salary to the injured employee as compensation which is adjustable against the final compensation derived as per the scheduled injury list. The cost of treatment extended by the employer is excluded from this deduction/adjustment.

In our case, we are paying the employee one full month's wages during injury period apart from extending medical facilities. Since the monthly wage payment is made directly to the employee by cheque, can we deduct/adjust this amount from final compensation payable as per the sum calculated for scheduled injury list ? or will the Commissioner for W.C. disallow since the money is directly paid to the employee/workman.

Kindly clarify.

departmental proceedings

In West Bengal Police and Kolkata Police, in departmental proceedings the disciplinary authority appoints the Enquiry Officer to hold enquiry proceedings against the charged officer. The enquiring officer while holding the proceeding also acts as the prosecuting officer on behalf of the disciplinary authority.No separate Presenting Officer is appointed by the disciplinary authority to represent the case on behalf of the Department though defence assistant is permitted by him in favour of the charged officer. On his findings in enquiry report the disciplinary authority imposes the penalties exonerates the charged officer. My query is that whether an enquiring officer appointed by the disciplinary authority can act as a prosecuting officer also? Is it lawful for disciplinary authority to entrust the enquiry authority to act on behalf of him in holding the enquiry? Is it not the violation of principles of natural justice and an act of departmental bias that the enquiring officer holding the Quasi judicial power should act on behalf of the prosecution also? What the law says? Kindly enlighten me with the relevant rulings of apex court or any other court which is guideline on such issues. What is the legal status of such enquiries imposing the penalties on the charged officer? Kindly respond.

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.
