Dear Experts,
Can the manufacturing company engage all the workers though contractor?
Alternatively can the employer engage 100% workers through contractors?
P.S :- All the Contractors & Prinipal Employer follow all the provisions of Contract Labour Act

If contractor and principal employer follow all related acts including specific permission from labour department then there is no legal hurdle to engage all labour force on contract basis.
