Theft in case of housekeeping staff

Hello,

I am starting with a Manpower supply firm and I am in the middle of taking licenses. I owned Bombay shop act license and applied for pan card. Later I am applying for Pan card, ESIC and service tax.

I have 2 questions now,

1) Now do I need to acquire Contract Labour license?

2) What if, mine deployed staff of house keeping does any theft in the department, then whose responsibility is to fortify that theft?

If I mention this theft clause in a contract with the party, would it be ok? If that is mentioned and signed between us, than I will be zero responsible for any theft happens in the store.

Kindly guide me with the answers of this 2 questions, and also If I can get a demo version of any contract I would be highly obliged.

Regards,

Shobhit

Theft is to be proved.

Insist upon CCTV coverage and evidence.

The demo version can be supplied by the consultant that drfats such constracts.

It is between you and client to insert and sign on any T&C in a contract.

You should conduct due diligence and verification on testamonials of all person that you hire.

Dear Mr. Shobhit,

It will indeed be necessary to have CCTV cameras in place to reduce your liability on both fronts. It is also very essential to have a comprehensive contract agreement in place with all the clauses of indemnity, replacement of staff, compliances under the various labour laws etc.
