LABOUR COMPLIANCE
Labour Compliance
" Mahalaxmi Constructions observes the below cited Labour related rules along with the other essential labour laws very strictly:"
1. Contract Labour Act:
Contract Labour Regulation & Abolition Act, 1970
The Govt. was also defined and the general consequences of opinion were that the procedure should be abolished wherever possible and practicable and that in cases where this approach could not be abolished completely, the working state of the contract labour should be controlled to ensure payment of wages and ensure provision of essential amenities.
2. BOCW Act:
Building and Other Construction Works (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996
It is calculated that about 8.5 million workers in the nation are engaged in Building and other construction work. Building and other construction workers are one of the most multiple and powerless elements of unorganised labour in India. The building and other construction works are characterised by their inherent risk to the life and limb of the workers. The work is also characterised by its casual nature, the temporary relationship between employer and employee, uncertain working hours, lack of basic conveniences and inadequacy of welfare facilities. In the absence of adequate statutory provisions, the requisite information regarding the number and nature of accidents is also not forthcoming. In the absence of such information, it is difficult to take accountability or to take any disciplinary action.
3. Inter-state Migrant Workmen Act:
Inter-state Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment & Conditions of Service) Act, 1979
The method of employment of inter-state migrant labour was an exploitative system prevailing in some States of India. In this case, Labour is compelled from various parts of the State through contractors or agents called Sardars / Khatadars for work outside the State in large construction projects. This system lends itself to various misusages. Though the Sardars promise at the time of recruitment that wages calculated on a piece rate basis would be settled every month, the promise is not usually kept. Once the worker comes under the grips of the contractor, he brings him to a far-off place on payment of railway fare only. No working hours are fixed for these workers and they have to work on all the days in a week under extremely bad working conditions. The requirements of the various labour regulations are not being observed in their case and they are subjected to different malpractices.
