Section 6 — Duties of employer

Statutory identity

Provision-by-provision analytical map

This page does not replace the statutory text. It separates the operative legal transaction into controls so that each subsection, proviso, exception and delegated instrument can be checked against the official India Code source before use.

1. Control 1. Identify the covered establishment, worker category, appropriate Government and sector-specific overlay.
2. Control 2. Break the provision into trigger, actor, action, timing, evidence and consequence before configuring the process.
3. Control 3. Read the corresponding Central Rule, prescribed form, Schedule and notified authority together.
4. Control 4. Create a named control owner and maker-checker evidence trail.
5. Control 5. Recheck later Central orders, State rules and technical standards before relying on a threshold or procedure.

Implementation workflow

1. Coverage memo: identify establishment, sector, headcount, worker status, location and appropriate Government.
2. Legal decomposition: mark each subsection, proviso, explanation, exception and delegated power in the official text.
3. Control design: assign a process owner, system trigger, time limit, reviewer and escalation path.
4. Evidence: preserve the source transaction, decision, communication and acknowledgement.
5. Freshness check: verify later Gazette notifications, authority appointments, State rules and technical orders.

Non-compliance and remedy

Worked control example

A covered establishment converts “Duties of employer” into a control with a named owner, trigger, deadline, prescribed evidence, reviewer and escalation path. A sample transaction is tested before the policy is treated as operational.
