Dear colleague,
Following steps are advised:
1. Apply for registration as Factory under the Factories Act and Karnataka rules
2 Check if your activities are covered under the schedule of employment under the Minimum WagesAct and Karnataka rules . If yes, follow the skill level classification and relevant wages applicable as per skill hierarchy
3. Check if you come within the perview ofthe Standing Orders Act ( 100 employees) based on your employee strength. If yes follow the .Model Standing Orders therein which are quite comprehensive and there is no need for certification of the same which is cumbersome and lengthy process. . For start up , the employment rules provided in M S O are sufficient to run the industry.
4 As you move forward make HR policies and procedures manual on topics of priority like, recruitment, compensation, performance Appraisal, training and development , reward and recognition etc.
