Any Karnataka state level compliance to follow when employee number reaches 50?

Hi Professionals, Is there any karnataka state level compliance or rule that we need to follow, when the number of employees increases to 50?

Please provide your valuable suggestions.

There is no special treatment or compliances applicable to establishments which employ 50 employees other than having a certified standing orders. If you go further deep, you can see that when your number of employees becomes 50, the law relating to lay off ( the word used in reference to Industrial Disputes Act and not the word used in new generation HR to mean termination of employment) will become applicable and you can declare lay off if there is reasons like shortage of raw materials or accumulated stock or power shortage and while doing so the workers employed shall be paid only 50% of their wages. When your number of employees become 50, you need to inform the appropriate authority under the Industrial Disputes Act whenever you lay off some workers, whenever you find that there is redundancy and therefore, some of them (last employee joined in a particular department to be the first employee to be retrenched first) should be permanently retrenched or when you find that the unit is not viable and therefore, it should be closed. Obviously, when the number of employees become 100, in order to declare lay off or in order to retrench or close down or transfer the undertaking should require permission of the government.

LWF: Specifically, when an establishment reaches a strength of 50 the contribution to the Labour Welfare Fund has to be remitted to the fund of the Karnataka Labour Welfare Board as prescribed as per the provisions of Sec.7 A read with Sec.2 sub sec.(3) & (4) (iii) of the Karnataka Labour Welfare Fund Act, 1965, "Establishment" means... any establishment including a society registered or deemed to be registered under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960, and a charitable or other trust, whether registered under any law applicable to such charitable or other trust or not, which carries on any business or trade or any work in connection with or ancilliary thereto and which employs or on any working day during the preceding twelve months employed more than fifty persons, but does not include an establishment (not being a factory) of the Central or any State Government; and ...
