Navigating Temporary Staff Recruitment: What Legal Steps Should We Take?

Hi all! I am working for an MNC that has decided to recruit 70 temporary staff for six months to complete a project. Until now, we have hired employees on a permanent basis only. Are there any procedures/formalities that need to be completed before taking employees on a temporary basis? Should they be covered by the Contract Labour Act, even though we are recruiting them directly without a contractor in between? Should we maintain separate registers for them?

Hi Priya,

I am issuing a simple appointment letter for you. Please note the date of joining and the specific end date of this appointment. You are appointed for this project with a consolidated pay, which includes coverage under PF and ESI. You will be relieved on the specified date without any extension of your period.

If you need further advice, feel free to call me.
