Dear Friend,

Q) I want to know that Is it any issue if the company having casual workers, and how to avoid the issues raised from casual workers for their permanent job?
Ans: No issue in having casual labour, but you have to put him under Contractor who is having a contract labour licence and he should pay PF, ESI, Statutory Bonus & Gratuity.
Apart from the above you should have principle employer contract labour licence.
Q) How many month/days are required to treat a casual worker as a Permanent, Suggestion for break in service for avoiding above issue?
Ans: Recently fixed term employment got into force for all manufacturing sectors, even if you issue the fixed term employment you need to full fill all statutory benefits which are applicable for all regular employees (Including PF, ESI, Bonus & gratuity).
Q) Sir, also i would like to know if the manufacturing company having casual workers what type of Registers that we should maintain, are they comes under Factories Act or Contract labour act?.
Ans: You have to maintain separate registers for On-Roll Employees and Contract Workmen.
Q) What are the registers we should maintain under Factories Act?.
Ans: You have to maintain all registers in prescribed format of the particular state where your factory is situated.
Muster Roll, Wages Register, Advance Register, Leave Register, Deduction of Fines, White Wash Register,PF Inspection Book, ESI Inspection Book, Accident Register, etc.
You have to show local labour inspector name and contact details in Notice Board.
You have to display the abstracts of all labour acts in the factory premises (Factories Act, Industrail Dispute act, Standing Orders, Equal Remuneration, Minimum Wages, Payment of Wages, gratuity act, Payment of Bonus, Maternity Benift Act, etc)
Q) What are the important rules that I should know ?
and Salary structure of Casual employees comes under Factories act or Contract labour act? What is the salary components and Percentage of the components in their salary structure.
Ans: While fixing the salary structure you need to look after the following.
1) Minimum Wages (You Salary slab should be above the minimum wages)
2) Don’t put so many components, Keep only Basic & HRA.
3) As per recent supreme court judgement on PF Components, All Components which are fixed except (HRA) will attract PF, Variable pays will not attract PF (VDA,OT, Variable pays etc) .
4) If salary bracket is higher then Keep the basic above 15K, remaining components can be kept as per your company policy.
5) If salary bracket is low then keep 60% of salary in Basic and remaining 40% in HRA.
Q) Should we take HRA as a salary component?
Ans: Yes
