Can Contractors Offer Paid Leave to Factory Workers Without It in the Contract? Seeking Urgent Advice

Dear Experts,

I need urgent suggestions on the following:

1) Can a contractor give Paid Leave (PL) to their contractual employees who are deployed at the factory without mentioning it in the contract agreement?

2) Is it compulsory to mention about leaves in the agreement with the principal employer?

3) Can a contractor follow the same rules that are applicable at the factory and to the principal employer without mentioning them in the contract?

Thank you.

The provisions of service conditions of every law applicable to the regular employees of the establishment of the Principal Employer (PE) simply apply to the contract labor engaged therein. Therefore, it is immaterial whether there exist any terms relating to such statutory rights/benefits of employment for the contract labor in the contract for service between the PE and the contractor. You have to bear in mind that the charges payable to the contractor include the cost of such benefits as well. If there is a stipulation on the number of laborers engaged in the work on a daily basis, the PE can insist on a suitable substitute.
