Viewing from business angle, Core jobs are those jobs which the company considers are of strategic importance although there may be agencies available to outsource the job. Non-core jobs are those jobs which are not of strategic importance to the organisation although there may or may not be outsourcing agencies available to do the job. In other words the core jobs reflect the organisations core competency and anything other than it is the non-core activity.
But legally speaking, Andhra Pradesh is one state which had endeavoured to define the core and non-core activities in any industrial undertaking and it amended Contract Labour (Regulation & Aboloition) Act to list out what are the non-core activities which could be outsourced without any legal issue. The relevant portion of the AP amendment to Section 10 reads as follows:
Prohibition of employment of Contract Labour:-- 10.(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, employment of Contract Labour in Core Activities of any establishment is prohibited: Provided that the Principal employer may engage Contract Labour or a Contractor to any core activity, if (a) The normal functioning of the establishment is such that the activity is ordinarily done through Contractors, or (b) The activities are such that they do not require full time workers for the major portion of the working hours in a day or for longer periods as the case may be (c) Any sudden increase of volume of work in the core-activity which needs to be accomplished in a specified time;
The Act was further amended by AP Govt. to list out the general non-core activities in the state . Section 2 in sub-section (1) after clause (d), the following clause shall be inserted, namely: (dd) Core Activity of an establishment means any activity for which the establishment is set up and includes any activity which is essential or necessary to the core activity, but does not include,-- (1) Sanitation works, including Sweeping, Cleaning, Dusting, and Collection and disposal of all kinds of waste. (2) Watch and ward services including security service. (3) Canteen and Catering services. (4) Loading and Un-loading operations. (5) Running of Hospitals, Educational & Training Institutions, Guest Houses, Clubs and the like where they are in the nature of support services of an Establishment. (6) Courier Services which are in nature of support services of an Establishment. (7) Civil and other constructional works, including maintenance. (8) Gardening and maintenance of Lawns etc., (9) House keeping and laundry services etc., where they are in nature support services of an Establishment. (10) Transport services including Ambulance Services; (11) Any activity of intermittent in nature even if that constitutes a core-activity of an Establishment and (12) Any other activity which is incidental to the core activity. Provided that the above activities by themselves are not the Core Activities of such establishment.
Thus what is core and non core activity in AP, there is clarity and outside AP it is still a matter of interpretation.A recent Judgement of the AP High Court in Ramaswamy vs The Union of India decided on 9th March 2016 helps.
