Overview of Standing Orders

The Standing Orders are contained in the schedule appended to the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. They are called model standing orders. For industries falling under State control, the respective States frame model standing orders for them. The Standing Orders Act is applicable to factories and other industrial establishments employing 100 or more workmen. However, some states like Maharashtra have applied it to even establishments employing 50 or more workmen.

These model standing orders are nothing but service conditions of workmen covering subjects like probation, confirmation, leave, discipline, and retirement, etc. Once covered by the Act, the establishment shall frame the standing orders in terms of the model standing orders and get them certified by the Certifying Officer. Until then, the model standing orders will apply to the establishments. It is mandatory.

Dear Knowledge-Seeker,

Your Query:

"I want to know the thumb rule of standing order and its functions. Is it applicable to which establishment or industry? Can it be mandatory for an establishment?"

Answer:

"Standing Orders mean and include the Orders/Rules/Regulations/Guideposts/SOP which 'define with sufficient precision' the Terms of Employment applicable to an Industrial Establishment.

Standing Orders Draft, as per the provisions of the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act 1946 and amendments thereto, have to be submitted to the Certifying Officer by each covered Establishment for Certification and Adoption/adherence.

Standing Orders help the Employer and the Employed Person, both, to exactly and accurately know 'the Boundary Lines' drawn by the Law.

The best part is that the Certified SOs streamline/Spell Out the Processes, the Work, the Workers' Duties, and Responsibilities and Workplace Conduct and Behavior, fairly and properly, and therefore must be observed faithfully.

The SOs set forth the Work Ethos and the Organization's Work Culture, remain helpful, and remove unhelpful or restrictive work practices which, in the absence of faithful implementation of the SOs, are found to flourish.

Growing productivity is the chief by-product of earnest observance of CSO, undoubtedly.

Team Kritarth is always ready and willing to help in such matters.
