Yes, it is legally required to notify the employment exchange about staff vacancies in Karnataka. This requirement is based on the Employment Exchanges (Compulsory Notification of Vacancies) Act of 1959. According to this Act, it is mandatory for all establishments in the public sector and establishments in the private sector that employ 25 or more workers to notify their vacancies to the appropriate employment exchange.
However, it should be noted that this requirement applies to vacancies that are to be filled on a permanent basis and where the duration of the job is more than three months. Temporary jobs, jobs of a duration less than three months, and jobs to be filled by promotion or absorption of existing employees are not required to be notified.
Here are the steps to notify the employment exchange:
1. Prepare a detailed job description for the vacancy, including the job title, duties, qualifications required, salary, and other relevant details.
2. Submit this information to the nearest employment exchange in Karnataka. This can usually be done online or in person.
3. The employment exchange will then advertise the vacancy and refer suitable candidates to you for consideration.
Remember to comply with this requirement to avoid any legal issues and to ensure a fair and transparent recruitment process.
