Dear seniors,
Under Contract Labour Regulations and Abolition Act , salaries have to be paid to workers by 7th of the month. Last month , due to certain reasons beyond the control of organisation, salaries were disbursed on 13th .
I would like to know whether there is any provision of penalty for this default under the Act.
Secondly can the prinicipal employer under whom the contract is carried out initiate punitive action against the contractor.

For the first time you can send them show cause notice. Upon their reply you can decide your further steps if their reply is not satisfactory. If they are fail to pay their salary on time, then you have to pay salary of your contractual employees, and you have right to hold contractor's payment until the situation does not remain OK.
To avoid this kind of obligations, you can start deduction of certain amount to reduce this kind of risk. you can cultivate those amount in some circumstances like late payment of salary, non payment of salaries and non payment of PF or ESIC dues.
