Dear Experts,
If any semi-skilled or skilled category workers work for more than one year in one establishment under the Contract Labor Act, can they be eligible for permanent employment with the principal employer?
Please help.

Dear Pankaj, Continuous employment of contract labor in a particular establishment alone does not entitle them for absorption as the regular employees of the PE’s establishment.

Dear Ajay,
Normally, no legal obligation is cast upon the Principal Employer to absorb the contract labor as his regular employees on the expiry of the contract either by efflux of time or by completion of the work or cancellation of the contract for any other reason. However, it does not preclude the PE from selecting and appointing such displaced contract labor as his new appointees on a regular basis based on the conditions of their suitability.
Alternatively, if there is a demand by the contract labor espoused by any competent trade union, the PE may, on a negotiated settlement with such union, take the required number of contract labor as his regular workmen.
