CS Professional · Labour Laws and Practice · Law of Welfare and Working Condition

A compliance officer is checking which establishments fall within the category for which the Central Government may prescribe the appointment of a welfare officer, since non-compliance with prescribed duties attracts penal provisions. Which establishment is covered?

The plantation with 250 workers is covered. The welfare officer provision applies to factories, mines or plantations ordinarily employing two hundred and fifty or more workers. The factory with 249 and the mine with 200 fall short, and a retail shop is not in the listed categories.

  1. AA factory with 249 workers ordinarily employed
  2. BA mine with 200 workers ordinarily employed
  3. CA plantation with 250 workers ordinarily employedCorrect
  4. DA retail shop with 300 workers ordinarily employed

Explanation

Section 24(2)(iv) covers a welfare officer in every factory, mine or plantation where two hundred and fifty or more workers are ordinarily employed. A plantation with 250 qualifies. 249 and 200 fall below the threshold, and a retail shop is not a factory, mine or plantation.
