Dear Professionals,
I have a query regarding the company that has branches in different states. Are the rules and regulations the same? Are the policies the same? Can the same certified standing order apply in another state? Can we certify two units with one standing order in one state?
I request all professionals to please guide me on this and let me know the applicability of this act.
Thanks & Regards

Proposed/Drafted Standing Orders of an Industrial Establishment need to be certified by the Certifying Office/Labour Directorate of the respective states having jurisdiction over the location of the establishment concerned, for their approval and office seal. Hence, for more than one Industrial Establishment in two separate states/provinces, two sets of Standing Orders need to be submitted for approval.

The caption of the thread and its narrative are contradictory. However, Standing Orders required to be certified under the IE(S.O)Act, 1946, are establishment-specific and cover all the employees employed in the entire establishment in the cadre falling under the definition of the term "workman" as defined under Section 2(s) of the I.D Act, 1947.
When the industrial establishment is a company having different branches across the country, it has to be treated as an organic whole. Consequently, the conditions of employment of a particular class of employees must be the same irrespective of their place of work/employment. Therefore, it is sufficient to have the standing orders certified by the Officer in the State only where the company has the branch with the required number of employees on its roll.
It is better to define the term "company" in the draft standing orders to be submitted for certification precisely to include all the branches, administrative offices, etc., wherever they are situated.

Dear colleague,
As rightly brought out by the learned members, the process of certification of SOs under the IESO Act is the jurisdiction of each State in which the establishment is situated. Since you have stated that uniform service conditions/policies apply to all the employees covered under the SOs, I want you to rethink about going through the rigmarole of certification of SOs, which achieves nothing worthwhile at the end, when the Model Standing Orders that apply in the absence of certified SOs are quite adequate.
