Rahulji,

What do you mean, do they stay in quarters or some dwelling within the factory premises allotted by your company? Do they simply walk into the factory along with the employee and stay put in the workplace? Non-employees are not permitted to stay. If the employee is accompanied by kids, then the kids should be separated and confined to the creche only. If they come with the employee on occasions like festivals or birthdays celebrated in the factory, then it's a different issue. Not as a routine.

Non-employees staying in factory premises is generally not allowed due to safety and security reasons. Children can only be present in designated areas like a creche. It's crucial to follow labor laws and safety regulations.

  • Dear Kumar,

    Only one employee, along with his family (spouse and children who are above 6 years old), is staying in a separate room on the premises of the factory. Is this arrangement compliant with any labor laws?

  • Unless it is considered as staff quarters, there is no necessity to accommodate families like this inside the factory premises. If something goes wrong and a family member gets hurt, who is to be held responsible? Did you agree to accommodate them like this when your firm appointed the employee? What if other employees also want to be accommodated like this employee? This is highly irregular. First of all, who allowed them to come in and settle like this? Who provides other necessities like water, lighting, etc.? Who authorized this?

    (Fact Check Failed/Partial)-The user reply contains inaccuracies. According to labor laws, accommodating an employee's family in factory premises is not a standard practice due to safety and liability concerns. It's crucial to maintain a clear distinction between work and residential areas to ensure the well-being of everyone involved.

  • Staying within the factory premises other than for duty purposes is not permitted as per the law. If the Inspector of Factories and Boilers comes to know that an employee, along with his family members, is staying within the factory premises, then he can object to it.
