Dear Sir,

Please provide the difference between (i) Company's employees, (ii) Scheduled Employments, and (iii) Non-Scheduled Employments. Who is included in (i) Company's employees, (ii) Scheduled Employments, and (iii) Non-Scheduled Employments?

What is meant by Schedule detailing categories of the company's employees (Management/General/Personnel)?

Please provide a sample copy of the outsourcing agreement, staff manual, and employee handbook.

What is meant by the company's pension fund obligations, and how can we confirm that the company is compliant with them?

Thanks with Regards,

By scheduled employment is meant the employment specified in the schedule attached to a particular Act. For example, there are minimum wages notified for different classes of industries and different classes of employment. These are schedules under the Act. Provident Fund Act also has a schedule in which classes of employment that will come under the coverage of the said Act are given, and generally, those kinds of employments are called scheduled employment.

The employees who are on the rolls of the company should be the company employees. There is no such kind of category anywhere in the labor laws. Correct me if I am wrong. Since a schedule is nothing but a statement showing some related things, you can very well have your own schedule of employees holding managerial positions, employees holding purely administrative roles, workers who do not have any supervisory rights, etc.

Scheduled and non-scheduled employment is based on the nature of the job and the compliance with the Payment of Wages Act. This applies to both company employees and outsourced employees. Reference the Payment of Wages Act and Minimum Wages Act as per the applicable schedules.

Outsourced employees are monitored through the labor commissioner's contract works agreement. The principal employer must ensure that their statutory liability of labor welfare schemes, such as ESIC/EPF (including EPS), has been discharged by the contractor. Otherwise, the principal employer will have to pay and discharge the liability.

Please get in touch with the state labor commissioner's office to obtain a license for awarding a contract for outsourcing external employees.

Well said, Mr. Madhu. I was a little bit confused about which Act Thirumurugan needs clarification. The last question in the volley added to my predicament, making me wonder if the questions pertain to the EPF Act, about which my knowledge is only very rudimentary.

Mr. Thirumurugan, it seems you have heard few terms and try to relate them. That will confuse your understanding about labour laws because there are many labour laws, each dealing with the definition of 'employee' or 'wages or salary' in its own way keeping in view the purpose of the Act. The easy method to understand these concepts of employee, employment, and wages will be to question in what context you want to know about them and then refer to that specific Act. For example, if you want to know who is eligible for PF benefits, then take the PF Act and go through it. If you want to know who is entitled to minimum wages, then go through the said Act.
