Dear All,
Need your help. Actually I know a person who has a shop in Rewari (Haryana). I am not aware that he has registered his shop under Punjab Shops & Establishment Act. Total workers working in the shop is more than 50, which are working on piece rate and not on regular employment. Though I guess agreement is there between the employer and the workers. Now here I want your help:
1. How can I know that the Shop is registered under the said act ? and if it is not what are penalties of non-compliance?
2. Also if it is not registered how can a common man not related to shop in any way can complain the Labour Department about the things.
3. If suppose the shop is registered, but Proper Safety measures/records/registers are not maintained by the shop owner, Can still we can give the complaint to the labour deptt.
4. If complaint is given to the Labour Deptt, what procedure they will follow to investigate the matter.
5. How can I get the copy of the investigation? Do I have to use the RTI Act
Basically what I want, I want to know whether is shop is registered or not, to take on records about the number of workers working in the shop, the base of payment to workers, the income of the shop owner, safety measures adopted by the owner.
Please help.
