AMENDMENT OF THE APPRENTICESHIP ACT
The Government is considering to amend the Apprentices Act, 1961 in consultation with all concerned Ministries. One of the
amendments proposed relates to reserving 50 percent of direct recruitment posts for trained Trade, Graduate, Technician and
Technician(Vocational) apprentices who have been trained under the Apprentices Act, 1961 in the same establishment. Based on
the views of the concerned ministries the proposal of amendment of the Apprentices Act will be processed further.
MOVE TO AMEND FACTORIES ACT
In view of the changed industrial scenario in the country, the Government is planning to amend the Factories Act,
1948 even as the labour organisations have expressed apprehensions about the move leading to a negative direction
and making the legislation anti-worker and pro-corporate.
• An amendment proposed calls for 100 hours of overtime (OT) in a quarter from the present 50 hours per day.
• It also proposes to raise the 75 hour bar (including the first 50) in case of exigencies to 115 hours in a quarter
- maximum hours of OT an employer can extract from worker without permission.
• To allow women working in factories to do night shifts, which is prohibited at present.
• The amendments, if approved, could be brought in the budget session.
Reacting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's decision to constitute a high-powered committee, All India Trade
Union Congress (AITUC) general secretary Gurudas Dasgupta said the Government's move is meant to further
liberalise the market and make it more investment-friendly and profitable for industrialists. It would be anti-worker,
he said, adding even the existing Act is not being properly enforced.
Tapan Sen, general secretary of the Centre for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), said his organisation is examining a 36-
page document with the 40 proposed amendments that the panel, headed by Narendra Jhadav, who is member of
both the Planning Commission and National Advisory Council, has given to the labour organisations to elicit their
views. It will give its reaction after studying them in detail during the next meeting scheduled on February 10.

IMPORTANT POINTS
When a Voluntary Retirement Scheme is introduced and the Management reserves the right to retain the efficient
officer/employee, it cannot be questioned hence the High Court erred in quashing the decision of the Management in not
accepting the option by an officer which has been opposed to Article 14 of the Constitution of India, hence the Apex Court held
that the Management of the Bank has properly appraised the claim of the respondent for voluntary retirement and its decision
was legitimate of the discretion which did not warrant interference by the High Court.
Reference - (Chairman and M.D., Indian Overseas Bank & Ors. v/s. Tribhuwan Nath Srivastava - 2011 LLR 225)
Levy of damages for delayed payment of provident fund contributions by a government-run society is liable to be quashed when
justifiable reasons for delay are given and also there is no mens rea in delaying the deposit by the society not by a private
employer. The language of section 14B of the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act read with para 32 of
the Scheme, reveals that the levy of damages on Employees' Provident Fund contributions will not be legal if there remains no
default or arrears on the date when the damages are levied.
Reference –( Hi-Tech Vocational Training Centre v/s. Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner - 2011 LLR 231)
• Compensation, in lieu of reinstatement, has been rightly granted by the Labour Court and plea that the workman has
abandoned the job of his own accord would not be tenable by its own version hence the writ petition against Award of
the Labour Court is liable to be rejected and the workman will be entitled to 9% interest on the payment of Rs. 2,56,025
as granted compensation in lieu of reinstatement.
• Plea of the Management that the workman has abandoned the job of his own accord would not be tenable since no
evidence was led and also in response, the Management did not send offer to the workman to resume his duty. Even in
the case of abandonment of employment by a workman, holding of enquiry is imperative.
Reference –( M/s. Hindustan Associates Engineer Pvt. Ltd. v/s. Sh. K.K. Aggarwal & Ors. - 2011 LLR 312)
Applicability of Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 will not
be excluded upon a factory under construction.
Reference –(Sterlite Energy Ltd. v/s. State of Orissa & Ors. - 2011 LLR 322)
An establishment which is amenable to the provisions of Employees Provident Fund & Misc. Provisions Act and
for the purposes of determining its contribution was taking into consideration the basic wage as given to its employees.
Reference –( M/s G4S Security Services (India) Ltd. v/s. Asst. Provident Fund Commissioner, Gurgaon. - CWP No. 15443 of
2009(O&M)

Government increased dearness allowance (DA)
In a bid to provide relief from high inflation, the government increased dearness allowance (DA) by 6 per cent to 51
per cent, benefiting over 50 lakh central government employees and 38 lakh pensioners.
"The decision to hike DA was taken by the Union Cabinet at its meeting here," a Union minister said.
The combined impact of the hike will be Rs 5,715.90 crore per annum. However in the next financial year, the burden
on the exchequer would be Rs 6,668.52 crore after the additional 6 per cent DA payout is factored in from January 1
to March 31 this year.
The increased DA, which will be effective from January 1, is provided to government staff and pensioners to
compensate them for rising prices.
Presently, the DA is paid at 45 per cent of basic pay. The increase in DA by 6 per cent would be in accordance withthe
formula prescribed by the Sixth Pay Commission for central government employees.

WELFARE OF DOMESTIC WORKERS The Government set-up a Task Force to evolve a policy frame work for
domestic workers in the context of regulatory mechanism and
providing social security. The Task Force has submitted its first report
which makes the following recommendations:
i) Extension of the welfare schemes to the domestic workers including
Health and Maternity benefit, Death and Disability benefit and old age
benefits.
ii) Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (RSBY) should be the first welfare
scheme to be extended to the domestic workers. The smart cards used
under RSBY can later be used to load other welfare schemes rolled out
for domestic workers.
iii) Domestic workers should be identified and registered by the State
Labour Department.
iv) The domestic work should be included in the Central List of
scheduled employment vide a notification under the Minimum Wages
Act, 1948 for fixation and enforcement of minimum wages in respect of
domestic workers. The State Governments which have not fixed
minimum wages for domestic work should fix minimum rates of wages
for domestic workers.
v) Mandatory registration of all placement agencies and individuals
providing placement, sourcing and recruitment service relating to
domestic work under Shops and Establishment Act.
vi) Formulation of National Policy for the Domestic Workers.
vii) Scaling up of the skill and re-skill training programme initiated by
International Labour Organisation.

DEADLINE BREATHER FOR PVT PF TRUSTS FOR EPFO NOD Ending the tax uncertainty for over 300 privately managed
retirement funds some of which are run by top multinational
companies, the Union Budget 2011-12 has given them
another year to get an exemption certificate from the labour
ministry and extended their tax sops till 31st March 2012.
“In order to provide further time to the EPFO to process
the applications made by establishments seeking exemption
under Section 17 of the EPF & MP Act, it is proposed t amend
the aforesaid proviso so as to extend the time limit from 31st
December 2010 to 31st March 2012,” as per the Budget
documents. The amendment will take effect retrospectively
from 1st January, 2011. The move will benefit nearly 300
companies including American Express Bank, SBI Life
Insurance, Daimler Chrysler and MMTC who prefer to
manage their retirement funds independently of the
vagaries of the EPFO by setting up provident fund (PF) trusts
under the Income Tax Act of 1961. They, however, operate
according to guidelines of the EPFO guidelines. Ending the

RISING SALARIES OF CEOS
NOT CONDUCIVE FOR INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
LOWER CADRE WILL BE FRUSTRATED
Here is a hard fact that is with regard to fat salaries in United States of America. President Barack Obama was outraged that Wall Street firms
paid out US $18.4 billion in bonuses to executives, despite receiving multi-billion dollar bailouts from the government to save the companies
from collapse in the face of the worst financial crisis in decades. But it is not confined to the U.S. Many other countries like India and China are
also facing the similar problem.
President Obama put a cap of US $500,000 on Wall Street executives' pay. The Chinese government has also drawn up rules and regulations
regarding recompense for top executives. Once the regulations are approved, executive salaries will be restricted by the recipient's position in
the company, average salaries across the industry, and appraisal by the Ministry of Finance.
India stands on a different footing. There is no doubt that the fundamentals of Indian economy are strong and that was the reason that is
could withstand the tsunami like global downslide. In India the roof hitting salaries of top executives have caused many heart-burns. And there
are genuine reasons. Any mismatch in the work and imbalance vis-à-vis the payment to other employees is unjustifiable by every stretch of
imagination.
A few years ago the Prime Minister of India e la American President had asked the top executives to cut their salaries to set an imitable
example for mid-level executives. Some have heeded his advice but others did not. Some top executives and CEOs also felt the pangs and pricks
of conscience and followed suit but the majority remained insensitive to it.
This is the time when the culture has to be inculcated and the wanton profligacy must be stopped otherwise; it would set the bad example to
the general detriment of the human resources in particular and the society in general.
According to a survey, Chief executives of India's biggest companies continue to reel in much higher salary increases than their employees. Last
fiscal, the CEOs of top companies earned 68 times the average pay in their companies, up from 59 times average pay in 2008-09, reveals a
study.
Excessive management remuneration has been a sensitive topic of public debate in the US and the UK and even the Indian government has
expressed concerns about it. Although some Indian CEOs and managing directors did see a decline in their total compensation in 2008-09, as
the economic slowdown brought down one component of their remuneration directly linked with profits, the absolute level of compensation
remained high.
Jindal Steel & Power executive vice-chairman and MD Naveen Jindal took home more than 2,000 times the average pay at the country's most-
valued steel firm. The Member of Parliament, who represents Kurukshetra constituency for the ruling Congress Party, drew a pay packet of Rs
48.98 crore (excluding Rs 20.35 crore paid as arrears for the previous year and Rs 42 lakh as salary advance) for the year ended March '10. Sun
TV chairman and managing director Kalanithi Maran, who shared the spot of second-highest paid corporate executive in India along with his
wife last fiscal, each drawing Rs 37 crore, earned 1,760 times the average pay of a Sun TV employee. While some CEOs are drawing eye-
popping amounts, there are companies where the gap between the chief executive and the average employee salary is modest. For instance,
Infosys CEO S Kris Gopalakrishnan's last year's pay packet of Rs 1.01 crore was just about nine times the average remuneration of an Infoscion.

In contrast, rival IT services firm Wipro's chairman and MD Azim Premji earned 93 times the average compensation paid to a Wipro employee,
thanks to over five times jump in his total remuneration to Rs 7.8 crore for the year ended March '10. The least unequal compensation was for
infrastructure finance firm IDFC where CEO Rajiv Lall took home just over three times the average paid to the employees, most of whom are
senior bankers and consultants. However, including IDFC's subsidiaries where the average salaries are much more modest, the gap expands.
Top executives of the large public listed companies earned an average compensation of Rs 3.73 crore, compared to Rs 5.49 lakh remuneration
of an average employee in the same firms, revealed the study. CEO remuneration did not factor in stock-based compensation, as most
managing directors in India are promoters who typically are not entitled to stock options. Stock-based remuneration forms a large chunk of
executive compensation in developed economies. The study also excluded government-controlled companies, where top executive
compensation is much low, at least on the books, compared to the private sector. Out of the 150 firms studied, CEOs in 40 firms earned more
than hundred times the average employee pay. These were companies in sectors such as textile, pharma, cement, metal, sugar and
construction where large number of blue-collared employees tends to keep average employee salaries low.
The captains and leaders of the industry must have to take cognisance of this unilateral and alarming rise in the salaries of top executives. This
soul searching must be done by them because any governmental interference as is being contemplated in China would be extraneous and may
largely not be liked.

Collection/Remittance of ESI contributions through System Generated Challans (w.e.f. 1/4/2011)
Tension is mounting between the Income Tax department and Employees Provident Fund Organisation
The feud between EPFO and I-T department has been running for two years now. It started with I-T department's 2009
query - why EPFO was not deducting tax at source on withdrawals from PF account by employees who had not completed 5
years in service. EPFO did not respond to this query and neither did I-T department follow its 2009 communication. However,
in January, the department sent an elaborate notice to EPFO demanding information relating to the manner in which it
handled PF money, which accounts for nearly Rs 40,000 crore annually all over India.
Under Section 10 (25) of the I-T Act, employees who have completed five years of service need not pay any tax on
withdrawals from their PF accounts. Those who have not are required to pay tax. I-T department sources said no one was
checking the loss of revenue due to such withdrawals.
