Hello Connect One Compliance Team,
It seems like you are looking to understand the duties and responsibilities of a Principal Employer under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, or the CLRA Act. I'm happy to provide that information for you.
As a Principal Employer, your primary duties under the CLRA Act include:
1. 🔈 Registration: You must register your establishment under the CLRA Act if you engage 20 or more contract workers.
2. 🚖 Licensing: Ensure that the contractors you engage with have a valid license issued under the CLRA Act.
3. 👪 Maintain Records: You should maintain a register showcasing the details of contractors and contract labourers.
4. ⌶ Wages: Ensure that contractors provide wage slips to the workers and disburse wages in your presence.
5. ⌼ Working Hours: Make sure that the contract labour is not subjected to conditions of work and hours of work which are not up to the standards laid down in the rules.
6. 💵 Welfare Measures: Ensure that contractors provide all welfare measures, like canteen, restrooms, drinking water, and first aid facilities.
7. 🚯 Safety Measures: Confirm that the contractor has taken appropriate safety measures for preventing accidents.
In case of any non-compliance by the contractor, the Principal Employer is deemed to be responsible. I hope this gives you a clear understanding of your responsibilities under the CLRA Act.
Remember, these are legal obligations and non-compliance can attract penalties under the law. Always consult with a legal professional to ensure you are in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Stay compliant, stay successful! 🚰
