Clarification on Applicable Regulations for Marketing Team
We have a diesel generator assembling unit registered under the Factories Act, 1948, where 70 employees are working. We have a separate marketing team for generator sales, and for them, we have a separate office located in another area. Can anyone clarify whether it should be covered under the Shops and Establishments Act or the Factories and Establishments Act?
For factory employees, we are following the regulations as per the Factories Act (leaves, attendance, wages, etc.). Should we follow the same rules for marketing employees, or should we adhere to the Shops and Establishments Act regulations?
Thank you.

Applicability of the Shops and Establishments Act
The Shops and Establishments Act of your state applies to your marketing division. If employees are transferable between your factory and marketing division, you should follow the same leave policy.
