Understanding the Applicability of Shops and Establishments Act
From your description, it seems your establishment is covered by your State's Shops and Establishments Act. Even though the State Acts differ from one another in respect of certain specific provisions, the scheme and the principles of the various Shops and Establishments Acts are the same or similar. All these Acts refer to the people employed therein (if I am correct) as "person employed" only and do not make any distinctions such as labor, executive, manager, etc.
The generality of the features of this definition in various Shop Acts is that the hired person should have been "wholly or principally employed in connection with the business of the establishment," subject to the statutory exemption mentioned in the respective Act—that's all. That's how an employee, though not a workman under the Industrial Disputes Act, is empowered to prefer an appeal against his unlawful termination under the respective Shops and Establishments Act if employed in a Shop or Establishment.
There are numerous judgments holding that "Person employed" implies that the Act applies and covers employees in higher income groups if not specifically exempted, and therefore, it is not merely confined to workmen.
