Half-Day Conference on
What every Manager should know about the proposed new Contract Labour Act and
recent Amendments to the Factories Act (Maharashtra Rules) – on Friday, February 5, 2016
between 9.30 am and 1.00 p.m. at the West End Hotel, 45 New Marine Lines, Mumbai – 400020.
About the Conference:
Dramatic and radical changes have been proposed in the Contract Labour Act and by default, for any violation of
the Contract Labour Act by the Contractor, the contractor’s employees may become the liability of the Principal
Employer. These and other radical proposals completely alter the present paradigm in which Contract Labour is
engaged in industries. The concept of unlicenced Contractor is done away with. The Act will apply to any
organization that employs 10 or more contract labour.
Maharashtra, that is angling to make it the destination for the Make in India being promoted by the Prime
Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, has announced several changes to the Factories Act. It will not only facilitate the
ease of doing business, but the amended Act permits engagement of women employees in the night shift. Trade
Unions, worker leaders and workmen need to become aware of the changes proposed as in many organizations,
contract labour now employed is many times more than the permanent workmen employed.
