Dear Team, If a person working in a corporate office (which comes under the Shop and Establishment Act) has no subordinates and the nature of his work is clerical, is he entitled to benefit under the Industrial Disputes Act?

Regards,
The applicability of the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA) depends on the nature of the establishment as well as the nature of the employee’s work.
In this case, since the individual is working in a corporate office that falls under the Shops and Establishment Act, the IDA can apply, but certain conditions need to be considered:
If the individual’s role is clerical in nature and does not involve managerial or supervisory duties, he is likely to fall under the definition of a "workman" under the IDA.
The absence of subordinates is another indicator that the employee is not in a managerial or supervisory position, which strengthens the possibility of being classified as a "workman" under the Act.
Since the corporate office is governed by the Shops and Establishment Act, it doesn’t automatically exclude the employee from the scope of the IDA. The focus is more on the nature of employment rather than the type of establishment.
I would recommend a thorough review of the individual’s job description and specific duties to confirm this.
