ISMW DEPARTMENT
The "ISMW Act" likely refers to The Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979. This act in India aims to regulate the employment and conditions of service for workers who are recruited in one state and employed in another state. It ensures these migrant workers receive fair treatment, including equal wages, displacement allowances, and safe working conditions.
Key Features of the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act:
​
-
Registration and Licensing:
Establishments employing five or more inter-state migrant workers must register, and contractors need a license to deploy these workers.
-
Conditions of Service:
The act mandates provisions for wage payments, displacement allowances (50% of monthly wages or Rs. 75, whichever is higher), journey allowances, suitable accommodation, medical facilities, and protective clothing.
-
Equal Pay:
Inter-state migrant workers are entitled to receive equal wages for performing the same or similar work as other workers in the establishment.
-
Responsibility:
The central and state governments/Union Territories are responsible for enforcing the act's provisions within their respective jurisdictions.
-
Contractor Responsibilities:
Contractors must ensure timely wage payments, provide necessary facilities, and report accidents to relevant authorities.
-
Dispute Resolution:
The act also provides mechanisms for resolving disputes between migrant workers and their employers.
-
Regulation of Employment:
The act requires contractors to register with the appropriate authorities before employing inter-state migrant workers.
In essence, the Inter-State Migrant Workmen Act is designed to protect the rights and interests of workers who move from one state to another for employment, ensuring they are not exploited and receive fair treatment in their new workplaces.
