Hello,

As per the standing orders of the Industrial Employment Act 1946, the Government is not giving any further extension to IT/ITES companies. There was an ad recently in the newspapers stating that this applies to companies with 100+ workforce in Karnataka. I was told that the act applies to companies with 50+ workforce. Can anyone confirm this, please? Any of you who work for an IT sector in Karnataka with a workforce of fewer than 100 employees, please let me know if you have adhered to this rule.

Thanks,

Hi Supreetha,

Exemption under standing order is extended till 31st March '12 for IT/ITES companies in Karnataka, provided companies submit draft standing orders to the labor commissioner on or before 31st December 2012. Applicability of standing orders to the companies which have 100 or more employees.

Thanks a lot, Keshav, this is really helpful. Are you sure this is applicable only for 100 employees or more as the labour consultant we work with told us it is for 50 and more, though I argued with him, saying that the newspaper clearly mentioned 100 and more.

Hi Supreetha,

This is to clarify that there is an amendment to the Act in the State of Karnataka to reduce the number of employees from one hundred and more to fifty and more with effect from Karnataka Act 1975.

Hi,

By the above notification, the draft has to be submitted by December 2012. Any further delay may result in the initiation of the charge sheet process against the erring establishment.

One of the conditions for submission is that an English copy along with Kannada is mandatory.
