We are planning to extend our workforce by recruiting more than 1,000 employees for our factory, whereas currently, we have 450 employees. Therefore, I would like to inquire about the mandatory legal compliance as per the Punjab Factory Act and rules applicable when a factory has more than 1,000 employees. For instance, is it necessary to have a medical dispensary and hire a doctor?
Thank you.
