NEWS IN BRIEF

(a) INDIAN LABOUR The news items reported below have been gleaned from various official and unofficial

sources. Hence, the Labour Bureau is not in a position to vouchsafe the authenticity of the unofficial news items.

ESIC Raises Wage Threshold to Rs.21,000 - The Employees‟ State Insurance Corporation

(ESIC) raised the monthly wage threshold to Rs.21,000, from the current Rs.15,000, for coverage

under its health insurance scheme. The ESIC board also decided to give an option to existing

insured persons to continue membership even if their basic wage breaches the ceiling of

Rs.21,000 per month. At present, all those insured under the ESIC scheme lose their membership

of ESIC as well as that of the insurance cover if their basic wage overshoots the ceiling. Both the

decisions will be implemented from October 1. Labour Minister Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, who is

the Chairman of the ESIC Board, said that the move of raising the threshold will help bring in an

additional 50 lakh members to ESIC. At present, ESIC has 2.6 crore insured persons, which

covers over 10 crore people, assuming four members of a family. The minister also said there is a

plan to increase the basic wage threshold for retirement fund body EPFO subscribers and it may

be considered in the next meeting of the Central Board of Trustees (CBT). At present, the basic

wage threshold is Rs.15,000 per month for coverage under its social security scheme.

DGMS Plans Modern Safety Training for Mine Workers - As part of its attempt to reduce

injuries and fatalities in mines, the Central Government is working a plan to amend the Coal

Mines Regulation, Metalliferous Mines Regulations, Oil Mines Regulations and the Mines Act.

These are different stages of execution, Rahul Guha, Director General, Directorate General of

Mines Safety (DGMS), said at an event organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

According to a release issued by the industry body, the DGMS is also working on a modern safety

training module. This is going to be path-breaking for scores of mine workers who are exposed to

fatal injuries, the DG further added. According to him, as part of the exercise, DGMS is also

trying to amend vocational training rules with a focus on “identification of hazards and

communicating” in the quickest possible time.

Automation to Replace People for Repetitive Work, Says Report - Employees in India are

getting ready for automated workplace as 63 per cent of workforce believes that machines will

replace people for repetitive work. According to a study by ADP, a leader in Human Capital

solutions, nearly two thirds (63 per cent) of employees in India believe automation, smart

machines and artificial intelligence will replace people for repetitive work, and 61 per cent of

those surveyed welcomed the trend. Employees in India were more positive than their

counterparts from across Asia when it comes to automation, it revealed. The study was conducted

across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific to understand how trends are

impacting the workplace and the needs of employees, ADP said in a statement. The majority of

employees in Australia and Singapore were not positive about this technological shift, according

to the study titled 'Evolution Of Work'. Employees in India were found to be more eager than

employees across the region to adopt new workplace technologies with 82 per cent of respondents

in India excited about the ability to do all work on a mobile device. Moreover, around 84 per cent


1131

of the employees are optimistic about the prospect of using technology to learn anything. The data

indicates that employees in India (along with their counterparts in China) are more likely to

believe that trends will impact them than their counterparts in Australia and Singapore, John

Antos, VP Marketing, Asia Pacific, ADP, said. This could be a distinct advantage in today's fast-

changing business environment, he added. "Businesses that will succeed will be the ones that

utilise and promote the strengths, skills and level of life experience each generation brings to the

table," Antos said. Besides changes in technology, other factors like employees' demand for

greater choice and flexibility, access to real-time learning, increased autonomy, a sense of

stability and ability to work on personally meaningful projects would drive global workplace

transformation.

Your Salary has Grown Only by 0.2% Since 2008 - India has seen a salary growth of just 0.2

per cent since the great recession eight years back, while China recorded the largest real salary

growth of 10.6 per cent during the period under review, says a report. According to a new

analysis by the Hay Group division of Korn Ferry, India's salary growth stood at 0.2 per cent in

real terms, with a GDP gain of 63.8 per cent over the same period. During the period under

review, China, Indonesia and Mexico had the largest real salary growth at 10.6 per cent, 9.3 per

cent and 8.9 per cent, respectively. Meanwhile, some other emerging markets including Turkey,

Argentina, Russia and Brazil had the worst real salary growth at (-) 34.4 per cent, (-) 18.6 per

cent, (-) 17.1 per cent and (-) 15.3 per cent, respectively. "Most emerging G20 markets stood at

either one end of the scale or the other either amongst the highest for wage growth, or amongst

the lowest. However, India stood right in the middle, with all the mature markets," the report said.

The report further noted that Indian wage growth is the most unequal. "Of the countries we

looked at, Indian wage growth was by far the most unequal - people at the bottom are 30 per cent

worse off in real terms since the start of the recession; whilst people at the top are 30 per cent

better off," Benjamin Frost, Korn Ferry Hay Group Global Product Manager-Pay said. Strong

wage growth for senior jobs is mostly because of skill shortages for key professional and

managerial roles; and the increasing connection to a more globalised pay market at the senior

levels - a market where India still pays less than most countries, but is catching up fast, Frost said.

Regarding the poorer wage growth at the bottom, the report noted that it is more because of an

oversupply of people.

Labour Ministry re-works Policy for Domestic Helps to Avoid Harassment by Agencies - In

an attempt to streamline the process of hiring domestic help through placement agencies, the

labour ministry is re-working the draft national policy for domestic workers to avoid any

harassment to either the employer or domestic help at the hands of these agencies. A senior labour

ministry official said that currently placement agencies charge certain proportion of the domestic

worker's salary every month, over and above the one-time fees they charge from the employer for

providing such help. "We will soon come out with a policy that would make it mandatory for

placement agencies to charge a one-time 15-day salary from the domestic help and in turn provide

them with social security cover, including medical and health insurance," the official

said. According to the official, while it is not going to be mandatory for domestic workers to

register with placement agencies and for employers to hire through them, employment routed

through these agencies will be well-regulated to safeguard interest of all the three parties

involved. This should encourage all stakeholders to go through this route. "Those employed

through placement agencies will enjoy the benefit of higher salary than their peers as well as

social security while the employers will get to hire domestic helps whose background check and


1132

liability would rest with the placement agencies. Hence, it would be more secure," the official

added. The reworked proposal is a step down from the earlier policy for hiring of domestic

workers under which the government had planned to make it mandatory to hire all help through

placement agencies after a written agreement, violation of which would be treated as bonded

labourers and therefore liable for punishment. India currently has estimated three crore domestic

workers, including scheme workers, both in the organised and the unorganized sector, who will

benefit from the national policy which is under works for more than a year now.

(The Economic Times, 20.09.2016)

Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana to be Launched Soon - The Pradhan Mantri

Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY), announced in the Budget with an allocation of Rs.1,000

crore, will be launched soon. Sources said the Employees‟ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO),

the implementing agency for the scheme, is ready with the software for its implementation, but

enrolment would start only after the scheme is formally launched. Under PMRPY, the

government will pay for the first three years the employers‟ 8.33% contribution to the Employee

Pension Scheme (EPS) for new employees, earning up to Rs.15,000 a month. Employers will

have to pay the remaining 3.67%. However, the government will bear the entire 12% employers‟

contribution towards EPFO for the garment sector. Employees, however, will have to contribute

their part in both the cases. The last decade was one of jobless growth. The proportion of persons

in the labour force declined from 43% in 2004-05 to 39.5% in 2011-12, with a sharp drop in

female participation rate from 29% to 21.9%. This perhaps prompted the government to offer

some sops to encourage new employment. The scheme has a dual benefit. While it incentivises

the employers to increase the employment base of workers in the establishment, it will also help a

large number of workers to find jobs in such establishments. Moreover, these workers will have

access to the social security benefits of the organised sector. All establishments registered with

the EPFO and also having labour identification number (LIN) would be eligible to avail the

benefits under the scheme. This would be available only if the employer has added new

employees from April, 2016 onwards. However, for new establishments, PMRPY benefits can be

for all new employees.

(b) FOREIGN LABOUR

Cabinet Approves Indo-Swiss Pact Plan on Illegal Migrants - Nudged by the European Union, India is putting in place a legal framework for repatriation of illegal migrants to Europe. The Union Cabinet approved the proposed Indo-Swiss pact on repatriation of 100 illegal migrants that will serve as a template for other EU nations with higher number of Indian illegal migrants. The Cabinet approved the pact to set up a "bilateral technical arrangement" between India and Switzerland for identification of illegal Indian and Swiss immigrants in each other's countries and their repatriation. India is considering signing similar pacts with other EU states. In 2012, the number of Indian illegal migrants to Europe was estimated to be 12,000. The "bilateral technical arrangement" between India and Switzerland is essentially aimed at formalising the existing procedure for cooperation on the return of irregular migrants between the two countries "without introducing any additional obligations or exacting time frames", according to a statement. Both the EU as institution and some of its 28 members separately have been prodding India to have an arrangement in place to bring back the Indians who had illegally migrated to Europe. The EU already has similar arrangements with China and Russia and is keen to have one with India.

(The Economic Times, 14.09.2016)

Japan Eyes More Foreign Workers - Two aides to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the nation is planning to bring in more overseas workers to bolster the shrinking labour force. Masahiko Shibayama, a lawmaker in Abe‟s ruling Liberal Democratic Party, who serves as a special adviser to the prime minister, said in an interview in Singapore that policies under consideration may result in a doubling of foreign workers in Japan. “Probably a lot of strategies are going to be adopted in the coming few years,” Shibayama said. “I don‟t think it‟s a fixed goal of the government but, in my opinion, doubling the number of foreign workers cannot be avoided in this global market situation. We have to make a sustainable system for accepting more and more foreign workers.” Immigration has often been proposed as a solution to Japan‟s demographic woes in an ageing society with a low birth-rate. Abe has vowed to stop the population from falling below 100 million from the current 127 million, though the idea of bringing in more foreigners has yet to take root amid concerns about the potential effect on a relatively closed society. In a separate interview, Yasutoshi Nishimura, an adviser to Abe and former vice economy minister, said the government planned to pass a bill this autumn expanding a foreign “trainee” system under which workers are allowed entry for a limited period and was considering new visa categories for sectors suffering labour shortages.


World Bank, ILO Announce New Push for Universal Social Protection - World leaders and heads of the World Bank Group and the International Labour Organization (ILO) are joining forces to achieve social protection for all. The new Global Partnership for Universal Social Protection announced during the UN General Assembly week aims help countries to reach all poor and vulnerable groups with a variety of measures to ensure that nobody lacks access to key forms of support when needed. Speaking at the meeting, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said, “Social protection is a means to reduce poverty, achieve greater gender equity, reduce economic inequalities, and to promote good jobs. While many developing countries are already achieving universal schemes designed to ensure that nobody is left behind, only one in five poor people in the lowest-income countries is covered by any form of social protection today. It is profoundly significant that we have come together collectively to help countries close these coverage gaps.” Universal social protection coverage is well aligned with the World Bank Group‟s twin goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity in the world by 2030, and is also at the core of the ILO‟s mandate, guided by its standards including the Social Protection Floors Recommendation, No. 202 , adopted by 185 states in 2012. The new partnership, supported by these organizations, brings together dedicated development partners such as the African Union, FAO, the European Commission, Helpage, IDB, OECD, Save the


1135

Report Challenges Theory that Immigrants are A Drain on US Economy - Immigrants have contributed $2 trillion to the US economy in 2015-16 and Indians are "the most entrepreneurial" of all groups, a new report has claimed, challenging the premise that immigrants are a drain on the world's largest economy. The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, in its report „The Economic and Fiscal Consequences of Immigration‟ takes a comprehensive look at the fiscal and economic impact of immigration and confirms research from the past decade that showed immigrants and their descendants make valuable contributions to economic growth, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the US. The report also found that immigration helps to slow the ageing of American society, and labour force growth from 2020 and 2030 will "depend completely on immigrants and their US-born descendants." There is little to no negative effects on the wages or overall employment levels of native-born workers, it asserted, saying "any negative effects were small and were experienced primarily by other recent immigrants and those who did not graduate high school."


Saudi Cuts Pay Cheques of Government Workers - Saudi Arabia announced sudden, drastic cuts to salaries and perks for government employees as part of the kingdom‟s struggle to slash spending at a time of low oil prices. The cuts, unveiled in a series of royal decrees and Cabinet statements read aloud on state television, reduced Ministers‟ salaries by 20 per cent, slashed perquisites for members of the consultative assembly and limited overtime pay and vacation for civil servants. The drop in world petroleum prices since 2014 has caused major financial problems for the Saudi government, which gets most of its income from oil and ran a budget deficit of nearly $100 billion last year. The new measures came as a shock to many in the country‟s bloated public sector, which for decades has served as a vehicle for the royal family to distribute its oil wealth in the form of well-paid jobs that often require little work. The government this year started a major project, known as Vision 2030, aimed at overhauling the economy, reducing the dependence on oil and creating a more productive native workforce.


Guy Ryder Welcomes BRICS Countries’ Will to Boost Growth and Decent Work - ILO Director-General, Guy Ryder, has welcomed the joint Declaration issued by the BRICS‟s Labour and Employment Ministers at the end of their second summit in New Delhi. Addressing participants at the second day of the meeting, the head of the ILO particularly welcomed the commitments made in areas such as employment generation, formalization of labour markets and social protection. “All three are key pillars for rebounding from the current economic slowdown, for promoting inclusive growth and development, and for achieving the 2030 Agenda,” he said. He particularly supported the part of the Declaration referring to the “imperative” necessity to address labour, employment and social issues for fostering strong, sustainable and inclusive growth. In this context, the ILO Director-General insisted on the value of collective solutions in the present context of slow growth. Ryder also noted that BRICS countries had a successful track record of innovative policies to generate employment and reduce poverty. He particularly referred to employment guarantee schemes, the extension of social protection schemes, including cash transfer systems, as well as good practices in reducing informality and creating sustainable pathways for transition to formality. The ILO Director-General also highlighted the part of the Declaration addressing technological and structural change. He praised the decision made to establish a network of lead labour research and training institutions in BRICS member states and pledged the support of the ILO for this project.

LABOUR DECISION

Compensation under Employees Compensation Act is Payable Even in Case of Negligence

of Employee - In this case, the elder son of appellants, who worked as a truck driver, died in an

accident while on his way to deliver goods in the truck. The appellants, being the father, mother

and younger brother of the deceased, filed claim petition before the Court of the Commissioner

for Workmen‟s Compensation as the deceased was aged around 26 years and had died during the

course of employment of respondent no. 2. The owner of the truck claimed that he was not liable

to compensate the deceased as he died on the spot due to his own negligence, as he had tried to

enter the vehicle while it was in motion. The Employees Compensation Commissioner considered

the pleadings and awarded a compensation of Rs.10,75,253. On appeal made by the insurance

company, the High Court of Orissa modified the compensation amount to Rs.6,00,000 on which

no penalty or interest was payable. Hence, the present appeal. It was argued in the Supreme Court

on behalf of the respondent Insurance Company that the appellants are not entitled to any

compensation because the deceased died as a result of his own negligence. The Supreme Court

after going through pleadings and hearing arguments stated that The Employees Compensation

Act is a welfare legislation enacted to secure compensation to the poor workmen who suffer from

injuries at their place of work. Section 3 of the Employees Compensation Act does not create any

exception of the kind, which permits the employer to avoid his liability if there was negligence on

part of the workman. It further stated that the Employees Compensation Act does not envisage a

situation where the compensation payable to an injured or deceased workman can be reduced on

account of contributory negligence. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by observing that

while no negligence on part of the deceased has been made out from the facts of the instant case,

as he was merely trying his best to stop unmanned truck. Even if there was any negligence on his

part, it would not disentitle his dependents from claiming compensation under the Employees

Compensation Act. The apex Court awarded the total amount of compensation payable as

Rs.10,92,850 and an interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the date of accident over the

above awarded amount with costs as Rs.25,000. Accordingly, the appeal was disposed off. (Jaya Biswal & Ors. Vs. Branch Manager, IFFCO TOKIO General Insurance Company Ltd. & Anr., All India Services Law Journal, Volume-122, Part-II, June, 2016, pp.96-107)

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream

of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your

body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is

the way to success.

The All India General Index as well as Group Indices for previous series on base: 1982=100 can be obtained by multiplying the current series indices by the respective Linking Factors. A note on the scope and methods of construction of these index numbers was published in April 2006 issue of the “Indian Labour Journal”. The All India Consumer Price Index Number for the month of August, 2016 decreased by 2 points and stood at 278 points.

A.1.1.2. Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Industrial Workers in respect of 78 constituent centres on Base: 2001=100 – The Consumer Price Index Numbers for industrial workers on Base: 2001=100 for 78 centres compiled by the Labour Bureau are presented group wise in Table A.1.1.2 for the months of July, 2016 and August, 2016.

As compared to the previous month, the magnitude of rise/fall in the General Index varies from centre to centre. During August, 2016, Vadodara and Madurai reported the maximum decrease of 10 points each followed by Pune and Warrangal (8 points each) and Indore and Rajkot (6 points each) . Among others, 5 points decrease was observed in 6 centres, 4 points in 6 centres, 3 points in 9 centres, 2 points in 9 centres and 1 point in 6 centres.

The prices reported in the table are averages of open markets prices of specified varieties of an item prevailing in the selected outlets in the selected market(s) in a given centre during the month in case of non-rationed items. So far as rationed items are concerned, the prices for the centres covered under informal rationing are the weighted average prices, the weights being the proportion of the quantity available through Public Distribution System and quantity procured from the open market in different centres in relation to base year requirements of an average family. In case of centres covered under Statutory Rationing the prices are average of the fair prices of variety (ies) of an item distributed through Fair Price Shops.

1.2 Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers:

A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) Labour Bureau’s Series of Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 - All-India Consumer Price Index Numbers for Agricultural and Rural Labourers on Base: 1986-87=100 replacing the earlier series on base 1960-61=100 were released with effect from November, 1995.

A detailed note on the scope and method of construction of these indices was published in February, 1996 issue of the Indian Labour Journal.


1142

The Consumer Price Index Numbers (Base: 1986-87=100) for Agricultural and Rural Labourers for 20 States and All-India are presented group-wise in Tables A.1.2.1 (a) and (b) for the months of July, 2016 and August, 2016. These index numbers measure the extent of change in the retail prices of goods and services consumed by Agricultural and Rural Labourers as compared with the base period viz., 1986-87.

(a) and (b). Though the spatial coverage and the individual sample village price quotations in both the series relating to the Agricultural and Rural Labourers are the same, the weighted prices of items at the State level will be slightly different from each other due to difference in the regional weights in each of the series. 2 Wages and Earnings

A.2.1 (a) and (b) Average Daily Wage Rates for Agricultural and Non-agricultural occupations- In pursuance of the recommendations of the Technical Working Group on rural retail prices set up by the NSSO in 1974, Labour Bureau has been compiling and maintaining average daily wage rate data in respect of agricultural and non-agricultural occupations based on the data collected by the Field Operation Division of National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) from a fixed set of 600 sample villages spread over 66 NSS regions in 20 states. Though these wage rate data have been collected since 1986-87, their regular compilation and dissemination started w.e.f April, 1998. The average daily wage rate data was collected for eleven agricultural and seven non-agricultural occupations till October, 2013. However, following the recommendations of the Working Group constituted by the CSO on advice of the National Statistical Commission (NSC), wage rate data is now being collected for 25 occupations (12 agricultural and 13 non-agricultural). The daily wage rate data received from the field are first normalized for eight working hours a day. The simple arithmetic average of these normalized daily wage rates is worked out for each of the 20 states. The average wage rates at all-India level are derived by dividing the sum total of wages of all the 20 states by the number of quotations. These averages are restricted only to those occupations where the number of quotations are five or more in order to avoid the apparent inconsistency in wages paid to different categories of workers on account of differences in number of quotations. The month-wise average daily wage rates are thus worked out at State level and also at all-India level are released regularly to the users through various sources. State-wise and all-India average daily wage rates by occupation and sex for the month of August, 2016 have been presented in Table A.2.1 (a) for agricultural occupations and Table A.2.1 (b) for non-agricultural occupations.
