Earlier in 2012, the Karnataka State Government refused to extend the exemption given to the IT/ITes sectors for over a decade from the applicability of the Industrial Establishment (Standing Orders) Act 1946 (Act). The provisions of the said Act will be implemented from April 2013.
GS Narayanaswamy, Secretary to Labour Department has mentioned that the IT & ITes industries of Karnataka should notify their respective service conditions/company policy as per the standing orders, as further exemption shall not be given.
The Act states that the companies under its ambit shall have to categorize the employees into permanent, temporary, casual and skilled workers and maintain uniform rules for the employees pertaining to attendance, work hours, leave, holidays, transfer, suspension, termination, dismissals, misconduct, disciplinary procedure etc. Hence all establishments in the IT/ITes sector with 50 or more employees should mandatorily set out the written guidelines with the required information and details and submit before the Commissioner of Labour, for certification.
SERVICE CONDITIONS – NOTIFICATION.
Request you to confirm me at the earliest about the exemption for AP IT organization. It will be great help to share the GO for the said rule.

Kamal
