Hi Smitha,
For Welfare Officer you need to focus mostly on Payment of Wages Act, Minimum wages Act, Employee compensation Act, Payment of Bonus Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Maternity benefit Act, few Sections from Factories Act (sections related to Working Hours, Health & Welfare) and Shops & Establishment Act.
And about the role it depends on industry you are applying.
If it is manufacturing, you should be well versed with all the sections related welfare in Factories Act.
Warm Regards,
Prakash.
