Definition Of Worker Under Equal Remuneration Act

Hello
While maintaining Form D under the Equal Remuneration Act, all categories of employees are to be included in the data or only non-supervisory & non-managerial employees (who normally fit in the criteria of workmen) should be included.
The above question has emerged as Equal Remuneration has not defined the term "WORKER" elaborately.
Please carify

Under normal circumstances wherever the term workman or worker is used, it is deemed to be those employed in non supervisory category. Moreover, section 2(j) of the Equal Remuneration Act also specifies that words and expressions not defined shall have the meaning as given in the Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore, it is to be interpreted that worker shall have the same meaning as is given in section 2(s) of the I D Act.

Thanks a lot Sir. This helped me a lot. Our organization received notice from LEO (central) for not maintaining Form D under ER Act for all managerial posts. But I was very much sure that it is to be maintained only for workers i.e. non managerial class. With your help i could now tell him that the reference may be taken from ID Act.
Once again. Thanks
best regards,

there is no periodicity provided for maintaining form d as prescribed under the ERA
however the same is to be maintained / updated whenever there is change in the establishment wrt to the entries to made therein. i.e. no of employees, their salary, etc.
the form d is required to include all the cadre of employees irrespective of whether they are ordinary workers or working in supervisory managerial capacity however in the column category of workers ,you can distinguish between different employees/ workers as per their job profile e.g. there are two worker and both are skilled but one is machineman and other is laithman so can distinguish between them and enumerate their respective work / duties in the column no.2 i.e. brief description of work
