Hiring Security and Housekeeping Agencies: Legal Considerations

Will you please share your views and suggest if the company should hire security and housekeeping agencies on a roll? What kind of legal matters are involved in this process? An early action will be highly appreciated.

Your query is ambiguous. It is not clear whether you want to know the legal requirements to be fulfilled in case we outsource the security and housekeeping services to an agency, or if you want to hire/transfer the manpower deployed by the service provider to your company's workforce.

Thank you.

Thanks, Mr. VP Jain, for the quick response. Let me make it clearer - we need a housekeeping and security person for our company, so we have decided to hire them directly instead of outsourcing. I just want to know if there are any legal requirements that need to be fulfilled to have security and housekeeping staff on the payroll, apart from providing ESI/PF/Bonus, and other benefits like for other employees.

In that case, there are no special, extra, or additional legal requirements you need to fulfill. You should treat the employees of security and housekeeping the same as other employees. Provide them with the same benefits and allowances applicable within your organization to employees in other departments. This should also be extended to security and housekeeping employees.
