Where Can I Learn About Muster Roll? Seeking Recommendations from HR Experts

Dear HR Folks,

Could anyone please refer me to a website where I can learn about Muster Roll?

Dear Kartik,

Muster Roll is actually the Register of Employee Data which is usually kept in the Factory or Establishment. It usually consists of the following:

(i) Name of Employee

(ii) Age

(iii) Sex

(iv) Date of Joining

(v) Roll/Employee number

(vi) Type of employment: Regular/Contract/Casual/Badli, etc.

(vii) Category (Designation): Management/Supervisor/Skilled/Semi Skilled/Unskilled

(viii) Rate of Pay

(ix) Shift (if applicable)

(x) Attendance

The above is illustrative and not exhaustive. The Muster Roll has statutory importance and is generally kept in the custody of the Personnel Department and is regarded as a valid document for inspection by Statutory Authorities like Factory Inspector, Labour Inspector, etc.

The total number of Employees for the application of any Statute is based on this Record.

Hi SC,

Thank you for your input. If I could get the Form numbers like the attendance register Form XVI for Tamil Nadu (I know it will differ from State to State). I request you to give me a suggestion to find out the form numbers for all locations; is there any website available?

Karthik

Dear Kartik,

The Form No. you are stating is of Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, right? Please tell me why you want to access forms because they are more or less the same with minor changes. For example, in place of Tamil Nadu Factories Rules, the words "Tamil Nadu" will be replaced by Maharashtra.

I can tell you one thing, unless you are in West Bengal or Maharashtra, you need not worry because the rest are more or less the same.

Sc
