How to Legally Expand Your Workforce by 30 Workers in a Manufacturing Unit?

ashok-kumar1
Context: Manufacturing unit

As per the given details, there are 149 workers in the unit who already have permission under the factory license act. The unit is currently operating in 3 shifts - Shift A, Shift B, and General shift.

The problem at hand is the need to increase the number of workers in the unit due to requirements. The owner is unsure whether to hire new employees or follow specific rules under the factory act. Specifically, if there is a need to increase the workforce by 30 workers, the question is whether they should register anew under the act or if an extension of the existing registration suffices.

Please advise on the necessary steps to be taken in accordance with the factory act when increasing the workforce.

Recruit the workmen. Inform the Inspector of Factories in FORM -2 (Prescribed under Rule 4 and 12) for an increase in the number of workmen along with the required fee for the amendment of your license.
