Truly, section 3 says that nothing in this Act will be applicable to persons in managerial positions and those whose work mainly involves travelling (sales officers). The Act provides for health, safety and welfare of employees, like hours of work,overtime payment, holidays, leaves etc. very simple, the holidays declared by the establishment will not be applicable to them, they are not entitled to overtime wages, they cannot take leave as their right,,,,,,etc etc.
