Thanks a ton Rajashekar for the reply,

but the law says the following:-

Explanation.-For the purpose of sub-clause (iii) of this clause expressions mine", "owner" and "agent" shall have the meanings respectively assigned clause (j), clause (1) and clause (c) of sub-section (1) of Section 2 of the 'Mines Act, 1952 (35 of 1952) ;

(h) "wages" shall have the meaning assigned to it in clause (vi) of Section 2 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 (4 of 1936);

(i) "workman" means any person employed in or in connection with the work of any establishment to do any skilled, semi-skilled or un-skilled manual, supervisory, technical or clerical work for hire or reward, whether the terms of employment be express or implied, but does not include any such person-
(A) who is employed mainly in a managerial or administrative capacity; or

(B) who, being employed in a supervisory capacity draws wages exceeding five hundred rupees per mensem or exercises, either by the nature of the duties attached to the office or by' reason of the powers vested in him? functions mainly of a managerial nature;

And the amendment says

Section 2: Definition - An explanation shall be added in clause c) of sub-section 1) of Section 2 ) as below: Explanation - The word contractor includes both a licensed and a non-licensed contractor. This section will read as: c) 'contractor', in relation to an establishment, means a person who undertakes to produce a given result for the establishment, other than a mere supply of goods or articles of manufacture to such establishment, through contract labour or who supplies contract labour for any work of the establishment and includes a sub-contractor. Explanation - The word contractor includes both a licensed and a non-licensed contractor. Section 2: i) This ceiling of Rs.500/- shall be removed. A suitable amount be replaced, determined by the appropriate government consistent with the living index and the sale of inflation.


Hence i would like to understand about this amendment.

Hai,
You have taken 20 so called supervisors on the rolls of thrid party ( nothing but contract) in turn the third party obtained licence under contract labour regulation and abolition act, 1970. As per the contract labour and regualtion and abolition act, if you would like to terminate the employees whom you engaged under the above act has to be given 3 days prior notice and terminate.

You need to first decide whether the CL(R&A) 1970 Act is applicable to you. It can become applicable only when you have more than 100 employees on your role. Please review the applicable provisions for Registration by Employer and License by Contractor under the Act. In case of any confusion, pl feel free to call at 09822394170.

The amendment says that the 500 Rs. ceiling is now not applicable and this amt would be decided by the appropriate government according to the living index of that area.
There are two govts. central govt and state govt.
now approp govt differs from org to org. if it is an org having functions in more than 1 state then central govt wud be the approp govt.
or any org which is owned by the central govt, approp govt for it wud be central govt,
otherwise state govt will be the appropriate govt.
these respective govts make rules for all the acts and such rules ae accordingly applicabe.

Dear Friend, Contract Labour Act is not applicable in case of outsourcing white collar employees!!! The definition of "worker" is quite clear as u have mentioned in the earlier post. Regards
