The term Industry doesnot mean factory alone. The Standing Order Act is applicable to all establishments to which the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 applies. Section 2 (e) (iv) states that any establishment of a person who, for the purpose of fulfilling a contract with the owner of any industrial establishment, employs workmen is an industrial establishment. As such minor port will also come under the definition of Standing Orders. Even if not covered by virtue of definition or number of employes, it is always desirable to have standing orders since it clearly defines the relationship between employer and employees.
