Dear Seniors and friends,
I need your help. I am working with a manufacturing company and having a license for 500 workers. However, currently, only 295 workers and 10 guards are working in our factory. The guards are on a contract basis.
Could you please advise whether we would need to have a welfare officer? If so, what would be the required qualifications, salary, duties, and responsibilities for this role? Additionally, do we need to establish a welfare committee?
I appreciate your response.
Thank you.

422Dear Member,
Section 49 of Factories Act, 1948 requires appointment of Welfare Officer(s) whereinfive hundred or more workers are ordinarily employed by the occupier. Sec. 49 may be read as under.
49. Welfare officers. — (1) in every factory wherein five hundred or more workers are ordinarily employed the occupier shall employ in the factory such number of welfare officers as may be prescribed.
(2) The State Government may prescribe the duties, qualifications and conditions of service of officers employed under sub-section (1).
After going through this section it is clear that we are to appoint W O only when we ordinarily employ 500 or more workers but in your case you have only taken the factory licence for 500 workers & have employed only 305 workmen including contract workers in your factory & therefore in my opinion until you employ 500 or more workers you are not required to appoint W O.
I have not heard of welfare committee. Section 3 of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 says us to constitute works committee wherein 100 or workmen are employed.

Dear Sir,
I am working on payroll at Adecco Flexione India. They have appointed me for one of the leading telecom giants, and I am working in Maharashtra state. The problem is the client of Adecco has not paid the petrol allowances for the last year. Is there any law that can protect us from losing the money? Whenever we ask our managers, they threaten to terminate us if we inquire again. Their intention is not to pay us. Please guide me as I have borrowed money from friends and family with the belief that when the company pays me, I will return it. But now the situation is different. Please help. (Allowances were not mentioned in our appointment letter, but we do have proof that we are entitled to them.)
Thanks,

Dear Prashant,
Victory never comes without any effort. I may have, but we can't carry wherever I go. If it's an ebook, we can save it on a tiny device like a pen drive for easy portability. First, think before replying; don't post anything blindly.
