There is no confusion at all. If the employer has deployed 20 or more workers through one or MORE contractors PUT TOGETHER, then he should have registration under CLRA. Contractor can take licence only if the principal employer gives him form V which is needed to be given only if he engages 20 or more persons through a contractor. Therefore, licence is employer specific and it states that the holder (contractor) is licensed to engage workmen at (principal) employer's premises. It is immaterial whether how many employees does this contractor has. What is important is how many persons are engaged in each site. He may have 100 workers under him, but if he has not given 20 or more anywhere then he will not be holding any licence. Only from the employer to whom he has given 20 or workers he will get form V and thereby obtain a licence. As already stated licence is employer specific and it is issued subject to issue of form V by the employer and as such he is concerned only about workers that the contractor has engaged for him and he cannot go and look for the total number of workers in his possession.
