The Labour and Employment Department of Orissa on May 16, 2021 has issued the Orissa Industrial Establishment (Standing Orders) Amendment Rules, 2007 to further amend the Orissa Industrial Establishment (Standing Orders) Rules, 1946.
The following amendments have been made:
• In Schedule I, paragraph 2 (a)(h), which specifies the definition of the fixed term employment, has been inserted, namely:
“A fixed term employment” workman is a workman who has been engaged on the basis of contract of employment for a fixed period whose working hours, wages, allowances and other benefits shall not be less than that of a permanent workman and shall be eligible for all statutory benefits available to a permanent workman proportionately according to the period of service rendered by him even though his period of employment does not extend to the qualifying period of employment required in the statute.”
• Paragraph 13 (2), which specifies the working of temporary workman, has been substituted, namely:
“Subject to the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), no temporary workman whether monthly-rated or weekly-rated or piece rated, and no probationer or badli or fixed term employment workman as a result of non-renewal of contract of employment or on its expiry, shall be entitled to any notice or pay in lieu thereof if his services are terminated but the services of a temporary workman shall not be terminated as a punishment unless he has been given an opportunity of explaining the charges of misconduct alleged against him in the manner prescribed.”
