  2. Dear Mahesh,

    IR is a vast area. Therefore, you can take up any area you like. If you take union settlements of the company for the last so many years you can get some thing to analyse. Similarly, there may be some other areas like, employee employer relations, job satisfaction, enforcement of labour laws in the organisation,practice of engaging contract labour and so on. You can seek assistance from me.

  4. There seems to be no particular difference between workers and staff. Of course employees who are under Managerial capacity shall be excluded but others should be counted irrespective of whether they come under factory workers or administrative staff.

  6. Dear Suhail,
    First of all, you should get your establishment registered under your State' Shops and Commercial Establishments Act. Since you do not have 20 employees, you will not come under the EPF and ESI Acts. But ensure that on any day the employees including casual employees have not reached 20. If so, you will come under these Acts. If you employ woman, the Maternity Benefit Act will be applicable to you. Similarly, employees will come under the Payment of Gratuity Act and Bonus Act (subject to salary stipulations mentioned therein)

    Regards,

  11. Hi ! Please guide me about 6 months Fixed Term Contract & 1 Year FTC for Hotels in Goa. Also what is the leave entitlement as per law, and which law is applicable. Thanks !

  12. Fixed Term Contract is an arrangement permitted to employ workers in projects or jobs which are expected to be completed over a prefixed period. It is generally possible in construction industry wherein we have in hand a date on which we expect to complete the project. In such cases, we can go for appointing employees on a fixed term contract which says that his employment would be terminated automatically on completion of the construction work or project.Similarly, if we take up a project which is to be completed within a year or two, we can engage people on FTC for 1 year or 2 years. It is also possible to employ them for 1 year and then renew the contract for a further 6 months or 1 year depending upon the situation.

    According to section 2(oo)(bb) of Industrial Disputes Act, termination of employment due to non renewal of fixed term contract or expiry of FTC shall not amount to retrenchment and in such cases the procedure to be followed for retrenchment and retrenchment compensation payable under sections 25F and 25N are not applicable for employees on fixed term contract.

    At the same time, FTC employees are eligible for all statutory rights conferred to employees in India and FTC arrangement should not be taken as a measure to deter their rights. As such they are entitled to get coverage of ESI, EPF and are eligible for leave with wages, bonus, payment of minimum wages etc. Once an employee completes five years with an employer under FTC, he will be eligible for gratuity also. Therefore, the only thing that makes them different from a regular employee is that their employment are terminable without notice and without compensation on the expiry of the period. at the same time, if you want to terminate such an employee before the date, you need to serve notice.

    The HR practice now shows that employees are employed on fixed term for 1 year, 2 years or 3 years and the contract is renewed after each period. Though such practice will fall within unfair labour practices, the system has gained importance and is followed in general.

    There is no rule regarding the period and therefore, you can have FTC for 6 months or 1 year according to your convenience. So long as you cover them under ESI, EPF and other labour legislation, there is no problem also. Regarding leave, like any other employee, these people are also eligible to leave as per your State's (Goa)Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.

    1. As of now you will not come under EPF but will come under ESI. If the client is demanding the challan for remittance you can say that you are not registered with PF and whoever engaged can be registered at the respective company's registration only. If you have misled the principal employer saying that you have lots of security guards and are then covered, there is no way.
