Section 3 of IESO Act, 1946 : Section 3: Submission Of Draft Standing Orders

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where XYZ Textiles Ltd., a manufacturing company in Karnataka, has just crossed the threshold of employees and now falls under the purview of The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. Following the Karnataka amendment, the employer must prepare and propose standing orders within six months from when the Act became applicable to them.

The employer drafts the standing orders, ensuring they cover all relevant matters listed in the schedule and align with the Model Standing Orders. Before adoption, the employer discusses these orders with the trade union representatives of the workers.

Fortunately, there are no disputes over the proposed standing orders. The employer sends a copy of the adopted standing orders to the Certifying Officer via Registered Post Acknowledgement Due, as required. Once the acknowledgement is received and filed, the standing orders become effective in XYZ Textiles Ltd. without further certification, streamlining the process and ensuring a clear set of rules and regulations for the industrial relations within the company.
