Crossing 100 Employees - Is there anything we need to take with respect to Labour law and Factories act?

Dear All, We are going to cross employing 100 people soon. Is there anything we need to take with respect to Labour law and Factories act apart from getting our Shops and Estd certificate Amended?

Yes. You have to amend the certificate with additional payment. Under shops act you would have paid rs. 15000/- for less than 99 employees. if it exceeds 99 employees then the same needs to be amended by paying another Rs. 15000/-
Apart form that now you will be in a position to follow the organisation standing orders as per the factory act

Need to form a works committee as per industrial disputes act, once the employees strength reaches to 100.
Need to draft standing orders exclusively for your establishment and submit to the labour commissioner with your employees consent as per Industrial employment standing orders act, once the employees strength reaches to 50 in TN and Karnataka (100 in other states).

Need not.Works committee is necessary only if 100 employees are workmen under ID Act.same is true in the case of standing orders also.
