Labour department inspection of IT office
- Labour
- Inspection of Office or Factories
- Paid INR 1,500
The Labour Department requires a dozen odd registers to be maintained some of them which are totally outdated and pointless.
E.g: Salary register, Attendance register, Leave register etc.
Our IT office has an electronic system that logs all entries/exits and leave taken. We have the records and offerred to provide it to them in a printout.
Salaries are paid electronically via bank transfer.
The officer declined and said it must be maintained in a manual register!
Finally an arrangement was made where we maintain a few records manually and the rest he would overlook.
Cost of arrangement Rs 1500 twice a year even if the officer shows up only once a year for the inspection!
He is supposed to inspect twice so expects to be paid even for the time he did not show up!
