BEST WISHES TO THE VIEWERS OF LAWYERSCLUBINDIA FOR A PROSPEROUS 2011.
A common question arises in Contractual Employment on the duty of the Principal Employer in ensuring timely payment of Salaries to the Contract workmen
Rule 72 of the CLRA Rules states as follows:
"The principal employer shall ensure the presence of his authorized representative at the place and time of disbursement of wages by the contractor to workman and it shall be the duty of the contractor to ensure the disbursement wages in the presence of such authorized representative. "
Consequently when the rule clearly stipulates a duty on the part of the Principal Employer to be present at the place and time of disbursement of wages by the contractor to workman and also the duty of the contractor to ensure the disbursement wages in the presence of of the Principal Employer it is a matter of Joint responsibility .
This is an issue of Compliance.
