CONTRACT LABOUR ACT
Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act Compliance
Mitigate legal risks, ensure equal working conditions, and manage your contract workforce with full compliance.
Introduction and Value Proposition
The Contract Labour Act governs the employment of contract labour in most establishments and aims to regulate their working conditions and ensure they are not exploited. For businesses, compliance involves dual obligations: obtaining a license as the "principal employer" and ensuring the contractor follows all rules. The complexity of these overlapping responsibilities creates significant risk. PCS provides comprehensive compliance solutions, ensuring both you and your contractors meet all legal obligations, thereby avoiding costly penalties and ensuring a harmonious work environment
Why Choose PCS?
● Dual Expertise: We advise both principal employers and contractors, giving us a complete perspective on compliance.
● Risk Mitigation: Our proactive audits and checks significantly reduce your risk of penalties and legal disputes.
● Strategic Guidance: We provide advice beyond compliance, helping you structure your workforce optimally within the legal framework.
Key Challenges We Solve
● Dual Compliance: Navigating the complex shared responsibilities between the principal employer and the contractor.
● Licensing Risks: Operating without a mandatory Certificate of Registration or ensuring your contractor has a valid License.
● Welfare & Wage Parity: Ensuring contract labour receives statutory welfare facilities and wages equal to direct employees for the same work.
● Penalty Exposure: High risk of severe penalties and legal action for non-compliance with the Act's provisions.
