Hello,
In response to your question about the Central Government Gazette Notification No. G.S.R 154 (E), you're right that it involves a simplification of record-keeping under various labour laws. Here's what you need to know in practical terms:
1. 🠖 Under this notification, separate registers under different labour laws are combined into one. This should ease the burden of maintaining multiple registers.
2. 🠋 This combined register can be maintained electronically, giving you flexibility in how you keep your records.
3. 🠛 During an inspection, you'll need to make the combined register available or provide information on how to access it.
4. 🠚 If you're maintaining the register electronically, you're allowed to adjust its layout and presentation without changing the integrity, serial number, and contents of the columns.
Now, let's look at the steps you should follow:
