Dear all,
I am working in a company where security personnel are employed both on the company's payroll as well as on a contract basis. The security personnel on the company's payroll are retired defense personnel who have already served the country for 20+ years, so their salaries are much better than the contract security personnel who are only high school graduates and are fresh individuals deployed solely at the gates.
One day, a labor officer conducted an inspection and raised a question regarding the salary disparity issue, citing the Contract Labor Abolition Act of 1970 under Section 12 of supra (1), read with Rule 25 V (A).
Please note that the experience and responsibilities of both categories of security personnel are of a very different nature.
Please advise on what stance we should take on this matter.
