Hi,
The IT sector is subject to several labor legislations like state enactments:
1. State Industrial Establishments (National and Festival Holidays) Act.
2. State Shops and Commercial Establishments Act.
Central enactments:
1. Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970
2. Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948
3. Employment Exchange (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act, 1959
4. Employee Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952
5. Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946
6. Maternity Benefits Act, 1961
7. Minimum Wages Act, 1948
8. Payment of Wages Act, 1963
The State is committed to simplifying all the enactments for the IT sector. The State proposes to exempt IT companies from furnishing returns and maintaining certain registers. A specific notification will be issued by the Labor Department. The Labor Department has issued an administrative circular that streamlines several procedures pertaining to labor enactments. The Labor Department has also initiated procedures to exempt IT companies from the purview of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946.
