Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8

Abstract

A ―fixed term employment workman‖ is a workman who has been engaged on the basis of a written contract of employment for a fixed period. Till recently, there were no provisions in Labour Laws in India as to fixed term employment. But in many European and Latin American countries fixed term contracts are in vogue. While so, a category i.e. Fixed Term Employment was introduced under Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 to impart flexibility to an establishment to employ people in case of Apparel Manufacturing Sector to meet the fluctuating demands of the sector due to its seasonal nature. Thereafter the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central (Amendment) Rules, 2018 came into force on 16th March, 2018 which paves the way for fixed term employment. A Fixed Term Employee’s hours of work, wages, allowances and other benefits shall not be less than that of a permanent workman and he will be eligible for all statutory benefits available to a permanent workman proportionately according to the period of service rendered by him even if his period of employment does not extend to the qualifying period of employment required in the statute’. The law will be particularly of benefit to the seasonal manufacturing industries and for skilled workmen. The article analyses the statute and it effect on the Industry.
