Dear Mamta,
Filing Half Yearly Labour Return to Licencing Officer is a mandatory process for the contractor having Labour Licence under CLA. The due periods are June ending (Jan-Jun) and Dec. ending (Jul-Dec). As per my knowledge the Labour Return Format is same for Central and State authorities. You may have the format as suggested by the fellow and experienced members of the forum. Pls note the below points for preparing the same.
1 First of all, pls check if all the contractual labour working under your roll or u have given sub-contracts for small jobs like Housekeeping, Gardening, Security etc.
2 Since u r the prime contractor and having labour licence for the whole unit it is ur liability to submit data for the sub-contracting staff as well in the Return.
3 At S. No. 5 (No. of manday during the Half Year)..... For Principal Employer pls show the days for which the PE was available at site:-
No. of Day in the Half Year (181 for June & 184 for Dec.)
Less (-) Holidays in the period)
= Total Days worked by the PE
For Contractor (ur co.), pls show the full day, if u have not taken any holiday during the period and u have not close the unit for whole day during the period.
4 At S. No. 8, No. of mandays worked- Pls count only the days for which the staff/labour (at site) was present during the period. Any leave-holiday-Absent should not be counted for the staff, even if u have paid full salary/wages for the month/s in the period. Only days worked by the contractual staff should be reflected in the column.
5 At S. No. 9, Amount of Wages paid, pls reflect the gross wages paid to the employees/ staff of the site. (Before PF,ESI, Advence deduction).
Also take care make an excel sheet data for supporting the figures shown in the Return. This is to justify ur Return at time of inspection.
But pls be noted the data must be for all the staff (under ur roll and ur sub-contracting staff).
Dear fellow members, pls correct me if any change/s required in above clarification.
