approval.
The draft Standing Orders shall be accompanied by a statement

employers owning those industrial establishments may submit a joint

4 PANKAJ KUMAR, FCS, Chartered S I ( CISI - London), MBA ( Finance )


Standing Orders.
The Act has imposed a duty on the Certifying Officer, to consider the
reasonableness and fairness of the Standing Orders before certifying the
same. The Certifying Officer is under a legal duty to consider that the
Standing Orders are in conformity with the Act. If the Certifying Officer
finds that some provisions, as proposed by the employer relate to
matters which are not included in the Schedule, or if he finds some
provisions are unreasonable he must refuse to certify the same.
Certification of any such Standing Order would be without jurisdiction.

The Certifying Officer has a mandatory duty to discharge and he
acts in a quasi-judicial manner. Where a matter is not included in
the Schedule and the concerned appropriate Government has not
added any such item to the Schedule, neither the employer has a
right to frame a Standing Order enabling him to transfer his
employees nor does the Certifying Officer have jurisdiction to
certify the same. The consent of the employees to such standing
orders would not make any difference.

Step 3 - {Section 5}
On receipt of the draft Standing Order from the employer, the Certifying
Officer shall forward a copy thereof to the trade union of the workmen
or where there is no trade union, then to the workmen in such manner
as may be prescribed, together with a notice requiring objections, if any,
which the workmen may desire to make in the draft Standing Orders.
These objections are required to be submitted to him within 15 days
from the receipt of the notice. On receipt of such objections he shall
provide an opportunity of being heard to the workmen or the employer
and will make amendments, if any, required to be made therein and this
will render the draft Standing Orders certifiable under the Act and he
will certify the same. A copy of the certified Standing Orders will be sent
by him to both the employer and the employees association within 7
days of the certification.

Step 4 - Effect of certification
The Act is a special law in regard to matters enumerated in the Schedule
and the regulations made by the employer with respect to any of those
matters. These are of no effect unless such regulations are notified by the
Government under Section 13B or certified by the Certifying Officer
under Section 5 of the Act.

Step 5 - Register of Standing Orders: {Section 8}


Certifying Officer has to file a copy of all the Standing Orders as certified

confirm the Standing Orders as certified by the Certifying Officer or to
amend them. The appellate authority is required to send copies of the
Standing Orders as confirmed or modified by it, to the employer or
workers representatives within 7 days of its order.

the workmen or a trade union or other representative body of the
workmen. Such modification will not be affected until the expiry of 6
months from the date on which the Standing Orders were last modified

application by employee.

(Madurai) Ltd.

Disciplinary Action

disciplinary action.

(rebel), disobedience, fraud, dishonesty, damage to employers'
property, taking bribe, habitual absence or habitual late
attendance, habitual neglect of work, strike in contravention of law
etc as misconduct.
The certified standing orders may cover other acts as misconduct,
if approved by Certifying Officer.

Temporary application of model standing orders {Section 12-A}
Until the standing orders are certified, Model Standing Orders prepared
by the Government shall automatically apply.

industrial establishment, the prescribed Model Standing Orders shall be
deemed to be adopted and applicable.

Case - Indian Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. v. Ninth Industrial


Tribunal
Where there are two categories of workers, daily rated and
monthly rated but the certified Standing Orders are in respect of
daily rated workmen only, then Model Standing Orders can be
applied to monthly rated workmen.

Once the standing orders are specified, they supersede any


"terms and conditions of employment contained in the
employment letter.

Case - Eicher Goodearth Ltd. v. R.K. Soni


If there is any inconsistency between standing orders and
appointment letter, provisions of standing orders shall prevail.

Payment of subsistence allowance {Section 10A}


Inserted by the amending Act (No. 18) of 1982.
Where any workman is suspended by the employer pending
investigation or inquiry into complaints or charges of misconduct
against him, the employer shall pay to such a workman the subsistence
allowance
At the rate of 50% of the wages which the workman was
entitled to immediately preceding the date of such suspension,
for the first 90 days of suspension: and
At the rate of 75% of such wages for the remaining period of
suspension if the delay in the completion of disciplinary
proceedings against such workman is not directly attributable

8 PANKAJ KUMAR, FCS, Chartered S I ( CISI - London), MBA ( Finance )


to the conduct of such workman.
Any dispute regarding subsistence allowance may be referred
by the workman or the employer, to the Labour Court
constituted under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
However, if the provisions relating to payment of subsistence
allowance under any other law for the time being in force are
more beneficial, then the provisions of such other law shall be
applicable.

Case: - BPCL v. Petroleum Employees Union


It was held that right to get the subsistence allowance during the
period of suspension is an unconditional right and it cannot be
affected by requiring the suspended workman to mark his
attendance to get the subsistence allowance.
Interpretation of standing orders {Section 13-A}

Order certified under this Act, can be referred to any Labour Court
constituted under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by any employer or
workman or a trade union or other representative body of the workmen.

after giving the parties an opportunity of being heard. Such decision
shall be final and binding on the parties.
