INDUS.EMPLOYMENT (S.O.)ACT, 1946.
I am providing below some of the important Obligations, Utility etc., of above S.O. Act., S.O. is an important Act governing the Relationship between the Employer / Master / Co., & its workers/employees; stipulating the t & c. binding them; breach of which will lead to action against the Workers / Employees & also the Employer. It protects Co's interest when some problem comes; like Suspension, Termination, Dismissal, Strike, Layoff, Retrenchment etc. Many P&A Mgrs. are quick to issue S.C.Notice etc. but donot check; wherefrom he gets the power to issue them or whether the charges are included in the Cos.C.S.O. or else; the aggrieved employee will take the issue to L.C.
Some of the details of S.O. are given below. I hope; it is informative & useful for your works. S.O. contains important Rules & Regulations, important t&c to be Certified by the L.C. It is an Important document of the Co.,for I.R. functions of HR Mgmnt. Pl.go thru. all & revert for any query..
The Draft Standing Orders are to be submitted to the Deputy / Labour Commissioner of the Region; as per the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, once the employees strength reaches to 50; in TN and Karnataka. (100 in some States).
The Govt. gives every Company obliged to adopt S.O; 6 months time to the Owner /Occupier / MD/GM so that; they get enough time to study the Model SO, draft, frame, their own SO., taking into account the required terms & conditions specific to the Cos.needs; to regulate the employment Conditions under them; within the Legal obligations under the SO Act; since ultimately; the Owner/Director will be accountable/ answerable for the faithful observation of the t&c in SO.. SO cannot be copy paste. The Owner/Occupier should correct the Draft; incorporating essential points specific to his Company's needs, discuss with his HODs, Co.Rep/Union & then send the Draft to LC. It is an imp.document of the Co. tobe given to all- to create awareness & to educate them about the obligations, duties, responsibilities etc.,.
