Hi,

This mail is based on a recent visit by labour Inspector to our office (IT Company at Bangalore) to investigate compliance under various legislation (let's say 'N' in no.). Since there is no practice of submitting periodical returns, judgement recorded as 'noncompliant', irrespective of the fact that basic intend of all legislation are taken care in its true spirit(or even higher than what is expected when it comes to welfare, wage/benefits, safety of our employees)

I have following queries on this front...

1) does IT company need to spend time & energy in preparing/maintaining/submitting large no. of reports as defined under acts, as long as we have internal check mechanisms?

2) Are we (IT companies) covered under Labour Welfare Fund Act, wherein it calls for contributions (employee & employer contributions), without any benefit back to
the company nor to our employees.

3) How about people working on outsourcing/contract.

4) Is it essential to inform vacant positions to Employment exchange (we know they can't help us in getting a single candidate who match our requirement)

5) Are all fresh recruits from college campus needs be covered under Apprenticeship Act.... list of queries never stops here... probably we can share our practices under this thread for common benefit, which will in turn make us better placed in facing this external 'threat' standing against our time.

regards,

S jayesh
