Question

Which of the following is/are included under the definition of employer given under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020?

• A. Occupier of the factory
• B. Contractor
• C. Manager of the factory
• D. Managing director of the factory

Hint:

Think "who controls employment and supervision" — occupier, manager, and contractor are usually in.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 adopts a broad, functional idea of "employer" to cover those who actually control engagement and supervision of workmen. It expressly includes the occupier of the factory, the manager of the factory, and even a contractor when he engages contract labour. A purely corporate office bearer like a "managing director" is not singled out in the definition merely by virtue of designation. Hence the correct set is (1), (2) and (3).
