Dear HR Professional,

We are planning to apply for the CLRA 1970 License and register our establishment under BOCW 1996. I have some doubts regarding the coverage of employees and non-coverage of employees under these acts. Could you please provide answers to the following queries:

- Who is included (coverage/applicable) as employees/labour/workers under CLRA 1970 and BOCW 1996?
- Who is excluded (non-coverage/non-applicable) as employees/labour/workers under CLRA 1970 and BOCW 1996?

Kindly clarify the above points with examples.

Thanks with Regards,

Dear all HR Professionals,

Please clarify following my doubts

My company has taken civil contract from X X X X X company for constructing boundary wall. That X X X X X company already issued form V to our company to get licence under contract labour regulation and abolition act 1970. Our company applied for licence through Form IV. And also our company is asking me to get registration of establishment under Buildings and Other Construction Workers (Regulation Of Employment And Conditions Of Service) Act, 1996 through FORM-I (See Rule 23(1) ) Application for Registration of Establishments Employing Building Workers for that same workplace/site/location.

Now my doubt is

1. If we have taken licence under contract labour regulation and abolition act 1970 for one workplace/site/location, Is registration of establishment under Buildings and Other Construction Workers (Regulation Of Employment And Conditions Of Service) Act, 1996 required for that same workplace/site/location or not?

2.In that workplace/site/location, following designated employees are working

(i) Deputy Project manager,

(ii)Sr Engineer – Civil,

(iii)Jr Engineer-Civil,

(iv)Jr Surveyor,

(v)Civil supervisor and

(vi)Machine operator,

those peoples are getting approx. starting salary from Rs.10,000 to Rs.1,00,000 per month,

As per contract labour regulation and abolition act 1970 (CLRA),

who, being employed in a supervisory capacity draws wages exceeding five hundred rupees per mensem or exercises, either by the nature of the duties attached to the office or by reason of the powers vested in him, functions mainly of a managerial nature; and

who is employed mainly in a managerial or administrative capacity, those employees does not include in the workman meaning,

Now how can we maintain Statutory Compliances, and records under that CLRA act for that workplace/site/location.

In that workplace/site/location total employees strength is approx. above 40 workman on any day of the preceding twelve months.

Kindly clear above my doubts

Thanks with Regards

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please advise on how to determine whether a specific area falls under the jurisdiction of the Central Labour Commissioner or the Assistant Labour Commissioner. My company is a telecom company with offices in all the district headquarters of Northeast India.

Dear all,

The CLRA 1970 is applicable to the whole part of India. When a company decides to engage an agency (contractor) to do certain jobs, the agency brings all the required manpower needed to perform the various activities. All manpower shall be on the contractor's payroll, and if the total number is 20 or more, then the all-inclusive strength shall be considered for obtaining a license under the Act, regardless of their trade, designation, and remuneration. The arrangement of providing a license by ALC or DLC is a departmental issue. Nowadays, you need to apply online for registration and a license; you will receive both online.

Regards,

From India, Delhi
