Labor Laws, Leave Policies, and Statutory Compliance Insights - CiteHR

Hi,

I am currently looking into HR activities in my company. It is a 14-month IT services company.

My question is: Will an IT services company come under the Shop & Establishment Act or the Factories Act if the employee count is 25? Do we need to register under the Shop & Establishment Act? If yes, what could be the statutory formalities? Do we need to file any returns during the financial year?

Regarding leave policies: How many paid and sick leaves are eligible for IT company employees during the financial year? What could be the maternity leave policy for an IT company?

Sudhakar G.

Hi Manju,

I have three types of employees:
1. Trainee
2. Contract
3. Permanent Employee

Currently, I am allowing one sick leave for trainees and contract consultants per month. For permanent/recurring/payroll employees, I am allowing 12 EL and 6 SL. Additionally, they become eligible for 18 EL after completing one year of service.

Our company is an IT BPO organization with a six-day working week.

Is my company's leave policy compliant with statutory regulations? What statutory formalities and submissions should be filed with the Labour Department?

Thank you in advance.

Dear Sir,

I am currently looking into HR activities in my company, a 14-month-old IT services company. My question is: will an IT services company fall under the Shop & Establishment Act or the Factories Act with 25 employees? Do we need to register under the Shop & Establishment Act? If so, what are the statutory formalities? Are there any returns that need to be filed during the financial year?

In terms of leave policies, how many paid and sick leaves are eligible for IT company employees during the financial year? What is the maternity leave policy for an IT company?

The IT company falls under the service sector. The company must obtain E.P.F registration if there are more than 20 employees. There is no need to register under the Shop & Establishment Act or Factories Act. However, if the company wishes to pay Professional Tax as per the Central Sales Tax Act, it should file monthly returns with the relevant Sales Tax Officer along with the payment.

Thank you, HARI PRASAD,

Right now, I am paying VAT, Service Tax, Income Tax, and Professional Tax. I am currently in the process of registering for PF.

The Labour officer is insisting on registering under the Shop & Establishment Act. Otherwise, he is going to issue a notice.
