Labour Compliance in Warehousing: Managing Contract & Migrant Workforce under Indian Labour Laws!
Contract Labour Compliance (CLRA Act, 1970):-
✅ If your warehouse employs 20 or more contract workers, you must register your establishment.
✅ Contractors must also obtain valid licenses under the CLRA Act, 1970.
✅ Maintain proper records of contract workers — attendance, wages, and compliance reports.
Migrant Worker Compliance (ISMW Act, 1979):-
✅ If you engage inter-state migrant workers, register under the ISMW Act, 1979.
✅ Ensure proper documentation — identity, wage slips, and travel details.
✅ Provide housing, medical facilities, and equal wages as per law.
Transition to Labour Codes & Best Practices:-
