Dear Expert,
I need to know the applicability of "The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970" in case of the following scenarios:
1. A public limited company is employing contract labour at its various locations. At any individual location, the number of contract labourers do not exceed 20 but in totality at all the sites, the contract labourers employed is greater than 20. Therefore is the Act applicable to the Company?
2. Secondly, the public limited company hires contractors who eventually hires contract labourers for various activities. In this case, the individual contractor may or may not provide more than 20 labourers to the public limited company. What would be the applicability of the Act in such as case to the public limited company?
Regards.
