Dear friend,
Section 32(v)(b) of the Payment of Bonus Act,1965 exempts the employees employed in universities and other educational institutions from all the provisions of the Act. Contract labor, being a system of indirect labor in general, acquire their statutory service conditions only from Acts applicable to the respective establishment to which their services are lent. Therefore, if a contractor exclusively engages his contract labor in an educational institution through out an accounting year, he is not liable to pay bonus to such employees. In case he follows the practice of rotating his employees among various Principal Employers establishments, he has to pay bonus to such employees irrespective of the fact whether he gets reimbursement of bonus or not.
