The real problem

Why this usually goes wrong

Principal-employer liability under the CLRA Act doesn't transfer just because you appointed a contractor. If the contractor defaults, recovery comes to you. Most companies discover this during an inspection, not before.

FAQ

Questions buyers actually ask

What is CLRA and who needs a licence?

The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. Establishments engaging contract labour above the notified threshold need registration as principal employer; the contractor needs a licence. Both are separate obligations and both get checked.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

They range from interest and damages on delayed PF to prosecution of named officers in serious cases. The commercial damage — a failed customer social audit — is often larger than the statutory penalty.

Do you audit our existing contractors?

Yes. Contractor compliance audit is one of the highest-value things we do, because your exposure sits with their defaults, not ours.

Which records must be maintained on site?

Muster roll, wage register, register of contractors, overtime register, and the licence and registration certificates displayed. Formats are prescribed and differ by state.
