Dear Swapnil,

Computerized records can be maintained for statutes under labor laws, but they have to be approved through labor offices. You can contact your nearest labor office to know the procedure for it.

Thanks,

Dear All,

The question is about implementing a biometric recorder for CL. It is suggested that as a principal employer, you can implement this system for security reasons as it is your right to monitor the movement of persons on your premises. The data generated can be used to verify "on work" attendance of the laborers. However, you should not project it as a "muster roll" as you do not have any employer-employee relationship with the contract laborers. Strictly monitor that the contractor maintains muster roll as prescribed in the Act/Rule for performance of compliance and payment as the daily wage payment has to be in accordance with his attendance records.

The initial question is whether the principal employer can keep the attendance record of the contract employees. The tracking, capturing, and maintaining of the attendance record have been discussed. What about the main question?
