Hi All,

If a company is registered in Bangalore and its employees are working in other states, is the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act of 1946 applicable to them in Karnataka or the states where they are working?

Dear Sarita,

I am glad to share my knowledge with you because an excellent question raised from you. Actually, any industry or firm registered under the Industrial Employment Standing Order Act 1946, we have to mention establishment name & Address, work locations like regional office, corporate office, branch office; each and everything should be mentioned in registration form - III. I am hereby sending an attachment for your needful.

Hi Satyanarayana,

Thank you for your response. If there are employees working in other states and are on the payroll of the HQ location, for example, if the HQ is in Bangalore and they are working at a client's place in another state like AP, in that scenario, will the Karnataka Standing Order be implemented for them (employees working in AP) or will the AP Standing Order be applicable to them?

For an establishment having branches in other states, a set of orders certified in the state where its HO is situated is sufficient provided the said standing orders speak about branches in the other states. It is like service rules. It is not possible to have different service rules for employees at different branches. For example, State Bank of India has employees in different states, but all are covered by one set of service rules. The only difference will be with regard to festival holidays, which will be based on regional interests.

Moreover, the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act is a central Act, and the state is only enforcing it within the state.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your guidance. However, Central Law has a ceiling of 100 workers, while many states have a limit of 50 employees. How can it effectively manage its operations while dealing with different state regulations?

Certainly, the applicability provision has empowered the state governments to make it applicable to establishments employing lesser number of employees. That is why there is difference. Madhu.T.K
