The term "Contract Labour" as defined under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 (CLRA Act) in India refers to workmen who are hired, supervised, and paid by a contractor who, in turn, has a contract to provide these services to a principal employer. Essentially, these workers do not have a direct employment relationship with the principal employer for whom the work is performed.
Key points under the CLRA Act:
Contractor: A person or entity that undertakes to produce a given result for the principal employer through contract labour or who supplies contract labour for any work.
Principal Employer: The entity or person who engages the contractor and is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the provisions of the CLRA Act are complied with.
Establishment: The place where the work is carried out, which may include the industry, factory, business, or office where contract labour is employed.
The Act primarily focuses on the regulation of employment conditions of contract labour, aiming to ensure their welfare and to protect them from exploitation. It also provides for the abolition of contract labour in certain circumstances where it is deemed necessary by the government.
