Housekeeping?

Deepak Nair (Querist) 23 November 2011 This query is : Resolved
A company appoints a housekeeping contractor for lumpsome yearly consideration. In that case, is it necessary for the company to follow the contract labour laws, Munimum wages acts etc. since the lumpsome fee is paid?
do minimum wages act apply in this case if the company asks for a specific number of persons to be present at the premises at one time?
Please advise.

Definitely, as a principal employer, company has the liability to assure proper adherence of the labour laws by your contractor.
