• Displays under Shops and establishment act

Hi, We have a corporate office in New Delhi, India. We recently had an internal audit and the auditor had asked us to get us all the displays under Delhi shops and establishment/other central government act done in our office. We have space constraint and it is not possible. We have a factory as well in Haryana and we have got all displays done there. Is it necessary for us to have displays in our corporate office? Is there a way out ? Do the inspection team even notices these points?

Particulars and forms of the records required to be maintained under section 33

 

Failure to maintain the records in the prescribed form and in the prescribed manner, i.e., not keeping exhibited a notice setting-forth the close day or a record of the hours worked and the amount of leave taken by end of the intervals allowed for rest and meals or not entering the particulars of all employment overtime, amounts to contravention of the provisions of section 33 of the Act and the proprietor, employer or the manager of such an establishment is liable to be punished on conviction to a fine of Rs. 5 for every day on which the contravention occurs or continues.

 

The register of employment and wages is required to be kept in Form 'G' duly bound and pages serially numbered. Where, however, the opening and closing hours are ordinarily uniform, the employer may maintain such register in Form 'H' alongwith a separate register of wages and record of leave in Form 'I' but the entries relating to a particular date on which an employee if called upon earlier or detained later than the usual working hours are required to be made immediately in the remarks column of Form 'H' before such early or late working commences. In the case of an establishment which is not required to observe a close day under section 16 of the Act, the occupier has to exhibit in a conspicuous place in his establishment a notice in Form 'J' specifying the day or days of the week on which his employees shall be given weekly holidays; the notice should be exhibited before the employees, to whom it relates, before they cease work on the Saturday immediately preceding the first week during which it is to have effect. In any register or record which an employer is required to maintain, the entries relating to any day should be made on the mid-day of the following day provided that in the attendance register the entries relating to any day should be made on the same day. The entries in respect of actual commencement of work should be made immediately where the employee has been called earlier than the hour at which he is ordinarily required to report.

 

All such registers and records are required to be exhibited at the place of work. Any notice required to be exhibited under the provisions of this section should be exhibited in such a manner that it can be readily seen and read by any person whom it affects and should be renewed, whenever it becomes defaced or otherwise ceases to be clearly legible and such registers, records and notices relating to any calendar year have to be preserved till the end of the following year. This section also requires every occupier to exhibit in his establishment another notice showing the close day, the daily working hours and usual period of the rest, interval fixed for employees in Form 'K'; (Rule 14 and 14A of the Delhi Shops and Establishments Rules, 1954).

The certificates are to be displayed in the premises whose address is mentioned in the certificate 

So if the address of the factory is mentioned in the certificate then in my opinion i dont think that the certificate is also to be displayed in the corporate office

By such logic, the establishment would be required to display certificates at all their branch offices wherever situated

Please ask the auditor under which provision of the shops and establishment act, he requires you to display the certificate at all places associated with your business

No need to display abstracts of Factories Act or any other such acts at Corporate Office as your Head Office is not in the premises of factory, regarding DSE Act simply display a notice/Suchna in Hindi that you follows the DSE Act and your auditors will agree to this. Simply right to auditor in clarification that notice to that effect has put on the notice board, don't discuss.

The displays of all the necessary documents and other issues are mandatory, the inspection team nay put this into an observation and later on this may become a reason for their adverse remarks on this.

You may somehow manage the space for displaying all the items as mandated at least till the inspection is completed.

Displaying of certain acts which govern the administration of the firm may have to be displayed at appropriate places to confirm that you are aware of such rules and regulations that exist in this type of business.
