The concept of “Standing Orders” is one of the recent growths in relation to Indian Labour management. To be precise, Standing Orders state the rules/ guidelines which govern the relationship between the Employer and a Workman in an industrial establishment. The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 is the legislation that governs Standing Orders in India.
The Objective of this Act is to require employers in industrial establishments to define with sufficient precision the conditions of employment under them and to make the said conditions known to the workmen employed. In brief, Standing Orders prescribe rules/guidelines relating to the matters in an industrial establishment.
Why should you care?
States like Tamil Nadu and Haryana have extended The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 to Shops and Commercial Establishments and this would result in bringing more number of establishments under this ambit. The Applicability of Standing Orders in the state of Tamil Nadu is 20 or more workmen, whereas for the state of Haryana, it is 50 or more workmen.
In light of the above, the enforcement from the authority to every establishment to obtain the Standing Orders certified based on the applicability of your company has been frequently reiterated.
Hence, we would like to bring to your kind notice that non-compliance of the said mandate shall amount to contravention of the provisions and the employer of the establishment shall be penalized.
