Ease of Maintaining Registers under Labour Acts
This is in reference to the Government Notification regarding the merging of various registers under different Labour Laws for ease of maintenance.
New Co-Off & Leave Register Form E
The Government has subsumed and merged some Labour Law registers under Acts like Mines Act, PWA, MW, FA, etc., introducing the new Form E for Co-off and Leave. This change requires Personnel and Administration Managers to maintain both Co-off and Leave accounts together in a single Register E, instead of the current practice of maintaining two separate registers. The Personnel and Administration Manager must ensure that an Extra Work Register is kept in each department to monitor and regulate Co-off claims for those who work on holidays. Failure to maintain these registers can lead to misuse and lack of accountability to senior management.
Challenges of Consolidation
This consolidation can pose administrative challenges for Personnel and Administration Managers as the registers for Extra Work and Co-off, and Leave Earned, Availed, and Balances are distinct issues and are currently managed separately as per the respective Acts. The system of maintaining separate registers for these functions aids in checking, controlling, and administering Extra Work, Co-off, and Leave efficiently. In this context, it is important to address whether the Government's merging of Register E will create administrative hurdles for Personnel and Administration Managers.
Impact on Man-days Calculations
Form E requires recording Co-off, Leave, etc., which may complicate the regulation and administration of Extra Work - Co-off and Leave, two critical functions of the Personnel and Administration Department. This merging could also impact Man-days calculations for Statutory Returns, as Man-days should encompass all worked days but exclude Leave and absent days. It is crucial to keep Extra Work accounts separate from Leave accounts to provide a clear overview of the total number of days of Extra Work done and Co-off availed. Similarly, maintaining a separate Leave account is essential to manage various leave types effectively and ensure accurate reporting for Management Information Systems and Statutory Returns.
Your insights on the potential challenges and best practices for maintaining Statutory Registers for Extra Work - Co-off and Leave Accounts in comparison to the Government-prescribed Register E are appreciated. Every Personnel and Administration Manager must be well-versed in essential Personnel and Administration Acts, Systems, Rules, and Forms to effectively manage Personnel and Administration tasks, as they are accountable to various stakeholders and responsible for addressing employee issues and maintaining accurate records throughout the employment lifecycle.
