CHAPTER -I

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY:

EMPLOYEE WELFARE

             Employee welfare defines as “efforts to make life worth living for workmen”.  These

efforts have their origin either in some statute formed by the state or in some local custom or in

collective agreement or in the employer’s own initiative.

To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.

To win over employee’s loyalty and increase their morale.

To combat trade unionism and socialist ideas.

To build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism.

To develop efficiency and productivity among workers.

To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits.

To earn goodwill and enhance public image.

To reduce the threat of further government intervention.

To make recruitment more effective (because these benefits add to job appeal).

 Principles of Employee Welfare Service

            Following are generally given as the principles to be followed in setting up a employee

welfare service:

The service should satisfy real needs of the workers.  This means that the manager must

first determine what the employee’s real needs are with the active participation of

workers.

The service should such as can be handled by cafeteria approach.  Due to the difference

in Sex, age, marital status, number of children, type of job and the income level of

employees there are large differences in their choice of a particular benefit.  This is

known as the cafeteria approach.  Such an approach individualizes the benefit system

though it may be difficult to operate and administer.

7

Page 8: Chapter II

The employer should not assume a benevolent posture.

The cost of the service should be calculated and its financing established on a sound

basis.

There should be periodical assessment or evaluation of the service and necessary timely

on the basis of feedback.

  Types of Employee Welfare Services

Safety Services

Prevention of accidents is an objective which requires o explanation. 

The costs of accidents are enormous in suffering to the injured, in reduction or loss of earnings,

in disabilities and incapacities which afflict those involved and in compensation, insurance and

legal costs, in lost time, filling in reports and attending to enquiries, and in spoilage of materials,

equipment and tools to management.

            Accidents are the consequence of two basic factors:  technical and human.  Technical

factors include all engineering deficiencies, related to plant, tools material and general work

environment.  Thus, for example, improper lighting, inadequate ventilation, poor machine

guarding and careless housekeeping are some hazards which may cause accidents.  Human

factors include all unsafe acts on the part of employees.  An unsafe act is usually the result of

carelessness.

            Young and new employees, because of their difficulty in adjusting to the work situation

and to life in general, also have many more accidents than do old and nature workers.

 The Phenomenon of Accident Proneness .   Some persons believe wrongly in the theory that

certain individuals are accident prone, that is , they have some personality trait as opposed to

some characteristic of the environment which predisposes them to have more accidents than

others in work condition where the risk of hazards is equal to all.

8

Page 9: Chapter II

Components of a Safety Service

            Among the many components of a safety service the following have proved effective

when applied in combination:

Appointment of safety officer

In big organizations, the appointment of a safety officer to head

The safety department is a must.  In small organizations, the personnel manager may look after

the functions of this department.  The head of the safety department, who is usually a staff man,

is granted power to inspect the plant for unsafe condition, to promote sound safety practices

(through posters an d safety campaigns), to make safety rules, and to report violations to the

plant manager.

Support by line management

The head of the safety department, whether enjoying a staff or a

functional position, by himself, cannot make a plan safe. His appointment lulls line management

into assuming that all its safety problems have been solved.

Elimination of hazards

Although complete elimation of all hazards is virtually an

Impossibility but following steps can be taken to help reduce them:

Job safety analysis

All job procedures and practices should be analyzed by

an expert to discover hazards.  He should then suggest changes in their motion patterns, sequence

and the like.

9

Page 10: Chapter II

Placement

A poorly placed employee is more apt to incur injury

than a properly placed employee.  Employees should be placed on jobs only after carefully

estimating and considering the job requirements with those which the individual apparently

possesses.

Personal protective equipment

Endless variety of personal safety equipment is available

Nowadays which can be used to prevent injure 

Safeguarding machinery

Guards must be securely fixed to all power driven

machinery.

Materials handling

Though often ignored, the careless handling of heavy and

An inflammable material is an important source of several injuries and fire.

Hand tools

Minor injuries often result from improperly using a good

tool or using a poorly designed tool.  Therefore, close supervision and instruction should be

given to the employees on the proper tool to use the proper use of the tool.

10

Page 11: Chapter II

Safety training, education and publicity

Safety training is concerned with developing safety skills,

whereas safety education is concerned with increasing contest programmes, safety campaigns,

suggestion awards, and various audiovisual aids can be considered as different forms of

employee education.

Safety inspection

An inspection by a trained individual or a committee to detectEvidence of possible safety

hazards (such as poor lighting, slippery floors, unguarded machines, faulty electrical

installations, poor work methods and disregard of safety rules) is a very effective device to

promote safety.

  Health Services

            The prevention of accident constitutes only on segment of the function of employee

maintenance.  Another equally important segment is the employee’s general health, both physical

and mental.

            There are two aspects of industrial health services

1. Preventive

2. Curative, the former consists of

3. pre-employment and periodic medical examination,

4. removal or reduction of health hazards to the maximum extent possible,

5. Surveillance over certain classes of workers such as women, young persons and persons

exposed to special risks.

11

Page 12: Chapter II

  Counseling Services

            An employee very often comes across problems which have emotional content.  For

example, he may be nearing retirement and feeling insecure or he may be getting promotion and

feeling hesitant to shoulder increased responsibility or he may be worried due to some family

problem.

Employee Welfare in India

            The chapter on the Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution expresses the

need for labour welfare thus:

1. The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as

effectively as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic and political, shall

2. The State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing:

3. That the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of

livelihood;

the common good.

1. The State shall make provision for securing just and humane conditions of work

and for maternity relief.

 Factories Act, 1948

Act, 1948. The Act applies to all establishments employing 10 or more workers where power is

used and 20 or more workers where power is not used, and where a manufacturing process is

being carried on.

12

certificate.

3.      Certificate of fitness (Section 69)

Before a young person is employed in the factory, a certifying surgeon has to certify that such

person is fit for that work in the factory.

 Welfare Funds

            In order to provide welfare facilities to the workers employed in mica, iron, ore,

manganese ore and chrome ore, limestone and dolomite mines and in the beedi industry, the

welfare funds have been established to supplement the efforts of the employers and the State

Government under respective enactments.

            The welfare measures financed out of the funds relate to development of medical

facilities, housing, supply of drinking water, support for education of dependents and recreation,

etc.

Voluntary Benefits

            Benefits are also given voluntarily to workers by some progressive employers.  These

include loans for purchasing houses and for educating children, leave travel concession, fair

price shops for essential commodities and loans to buy personal conveyance.

Machinery Connected with Employee Welfare Work

1.      Chief inspector of Factories

It is the duty of the Chief inspector of factories (who generally works under the administrative

control of the labour commissioner in each state) to ensure enforcement of various provisions of

Factories Act i8n respect of safety, health and welfare of workers.

16

Page 17: Chapter II

2.      Central Labour Institute

The institute was set up in Bombay in 1966 to facilitate the proper implementation of the

Factories Act, 1948; to provide a centre of information for inspectors, employers, workers and

others concerned with the well being of industrial labour and to stimulate interest in the

application of the principles of industrial safety, health and welfare.

3.      National Safety Council

The National Safety Council was wet up on 4th March, 1966 in Bombay at the initiative of the

Union Ministry of Labour and Rehabilitation, Government of India, as an autonomous national

body with the objective of generating developing and sustaining an movement of safety

awareness at the national level.

4.      Director General of Mines Safety

The Director General of Mines Safety enforces the Mines Act, 1952.  He inspects electrical

installation and machinery provided in the mines and determines the thickness of barriers of 2

adjacent mines in order to prevent spread of fire and danger of inundation.

Appraisal of Welfare Services

1. One of the main obstacles in the effective enforcement of the welfare provisions of the

Factories Act has been the quantitative and qualitative inadequacy of the inspection staff.

2. at present, a labour welfare officer is not able to enforce laws independently because he

has to work under the pressure of management.

3. Women workers do not make use of the crèche facilities either because they are

dissuaded by the management to bring their children with them or because they have to

face transport difficulties.

 National Commission on Employee Recommendations

1. The statutory provisions  on safety are adequate for the time being effective enforcement

is the current need.

17

Page 18: Chapter II

2. Every fatal accident should thoroughly be enquired into and given wide publicity among

workers.

3. Employers should play a more concerted role in safety and accident prevention

programme and in arousing safety consciousness.

4. Safety should become a habit with the employers and workers instead of remaining a

mere ritual as at present.

5. Unions should take at least as much interest in safety promotion as they take in claims for

higher wages.

 SOCIAL SECURITY

            The connotation of the term “Social Security” varies form country to country with

different political ideologies.  In socialist countries, the avowed goal is complete protection to

every citizen form the cradle to the grave.

            There are some components of Social Security:

Medical care

Sickness benefit

Unemployment benefit

Old-age benefit

Employment injury benefit

Family benefit

Maternity benefit

Invalidity benefit and

Survivor’s benefit

 Social Securities may be of two types

1. Social assistance under which the State finances the entire cost of the facilities and

benefits provided.

2. Social insurance, under the State organizes the facilities financed by contributions form

the workers and employers, with or without a subsidy from the state.

18

Page 19: Chapter II

Social Security in India

            At present both types of social security schemes are in vogue in our country.  Among the

social assistance schemes are the most important.

            The social insurance method, which has gained much wider acceptance than the social

assistance method, consists of the following enactments.

     The workmen’s Compensation Act, 1961.

     The Employee’s State Insurance Act, 1948.

     The employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948.

     The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961.

Employees’ compensation Act, 1923

a. Coverage.  This Act covers all workers employed in factories, mines, plantations, transport

undertakings, construction works, railways, ships, circus and other hazardous occupations

specified in schedule II of the Act.

The Act empowers the State Government to extend the coverage of the Act by adding any

hazardous occupation to the list of such occupations is schedule II.

1. Administration.  The Act is administered by the State Government which appoints

Commissioners for this purpose under sec. 20 of the Act.

2. Benefits.  Under the Act, compensation is payable by the employer to a workman for all

personal injuries caused to him by accident arising out of and in the course of his

employment which disable him for more than 3 days.

2.      Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948

1. Other than seasonal factories, run with power and employing 20 or more workers.

19

Page 20: Chapter II

2. Administration.  The Act is administered by the ESI corporation, an autonomous body

consisting of representatives of the Central and State Governments, employers,

employees, medical profession and parliament.

3. Benefits.  The Act, which provides for a system of compulsory insurance, is a landmark

in the history of social security legislation in India.

1. Medical Benefit.  An insured person or (where medical benefit bas been extended

to his family) a member of his family who requires medical treatment is entitled

to receive medical benefit free of charge.

2. Sickness Benefit.  An insured person, when he is sick, is also entitled to get

sickness benefit at the standard benefit rate corresponding to his average daily

wage.

3. An insured woman is entitled to receive maternity  benefit (which is twice the

sickness benefit rate) for all days on which she does not work for remaining

during a period of 12 weeks of which not more than 6 weeks shall precede the

expected date of confinement.

4. The Act makes a three-fold classification of injuries in the same way as is done in

the workmen’s compensation Act.

5. Dependant’s Benefit.  If an insured person meets with an accident in the course

of his employment an dies as a result thereof, his dependants, i.e. his widow,

legitimate or adopted sons and legitimate unmarried daughters get this benefit.

3.      The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961

Maternity benefit is one of the important benefits provided under the

Employees State Insurance Act, 1948.  Another important legislation in this respect is the

Maternity Benefit Act, 1961.  The Act covers only those persons who are not covered by the

Employees State Insurance Act.  The Act entitles a woman employee to claim maternity leave

from her employer if she has actually worked for a period of at least 160 days in the 12 months

immediately proceeding the day of her expected delivery.

20

Page 21: Chapter II

The act further provides for the payment of medical bonus of Rs. 250 to the confined woman

worker.

The committee on the status of women in India 1974 has, there fore,

recommended the following changes in the Act:

1. The administration of the fund should follow the pattern already established by the ESIC.

2. For casual labour a minimum of 3 months of service should be considered as

qualification service for this benefit.

3. This will provide greater incentive to women workers to participate in trade union

activities.

1.      The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

1. Coverage.  The Act applies to every factory, mine, oilfield, plantation, port and railway

company and to every shop or establishment in which 10 or more persons are employed,

or were employed, on any day of the preceding 12 months.

2. Administration.  The Act is administered by a controlling authority appointed by the

appropriate Government.

3. Benefits.  Under the Act gratuity is payable to an employee on the termination of his

employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than five years.  The

completion of continuous service of five years is, however, not necessary where the

termination of the employment is due to death or disablement Gratuity is payable at the

rate of 15 days’ wages based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee for every

complete year of service or part thereof in excess of six months.  But the amount of

gratuity payable to an employee shall not exceed Rs. 3.5 lakh.

4. Source of Funds.  Under the Act gratuity is payable entirely by the Employer.  For this

purpose is required either (i) to obtain insurance with the Life Insurance Corporation, or

(ii) to establish a gratuity fund. Thus it is his liability to pay the premium in the first case

to make the contribution in the second case.

2.4 REVIEW OF LITERATURE FROM JOURNALS AND ARTICLES

1) EMPLOYEE WELFARE

By Regina bare

perfect employees. There fore the concept of employee welfare includes to aspects namely

relating to employee wellbeing. Emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive needs

assessment both in obtaining the breadth of information needed to design appropriate

interventions and also in providing baseline information against which to evaluate programme

effectiveness. Discusses factors which influence the type of intervention appropriate for a

particular situation and highlights their design implications. Finally, provides guidance on

programme implementation and evaluation, and discusses some of the advantages and

disadvantages of different approaches to tertiary welfare provision.

3) EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LIMITED

By J. Bruce Prince

Purpose – The employee selection process has generally focused on the near-term

performance potential of internal candidates in filling vacant positions. This research addresses

the potential influence of adding a career development emphasis to the employee transfer

decision process. In a career-focused transfer process the applicants' individual career

development needs and growth opportunities are a key basis for internal selection decisions.

Design/methodology/approach – Using web-based survey methodology, a US financial

services firm is used to evaluate the relationship between the use of career-focused employee

transfer criteria and key employee attitudes.

Findings – The study finds that the use of career-focused processes are positively related

to employees' developmental opportunity satisfaction and perceived support for career

development. Regression analyses finds that these two attitudes mediate the positive relationship

between the use of career-focused transfer criteria and perceived organization support (POS).

Other research efforts (e.g. Allen and Shore) have linked POS to a variety of positive outcomes,

including lower employee turnover. Past research, however, has not considered how specific

human resource practices can be the basis for the development of key attitudes.

Research limitations/implications – This research – while limited due to it cross-sectional

methodology – builds on that stream of research by focuses on the design of the employee

transfer process and how it can be a key practice for achieving a developmental focus and

associated benefits.

Originality/value – The results suggest that focusing on performance potential of

applicants and career-focused criteria are not necessarily antagonistic but can be used jointly to

make internal selection decisions.

4) NEEDED WELFARE MEASURES

By ARTHUR CAPPER, Governor

          To promote a higher type of citizenship, to insure to every child born in Kansas a record of

birth, an equal share in the paternal care of the government and a recognition of its potential

worth as a future citizen, I recommend the establishment of a division of child hygiene as a part

of the State Board of Health. This new division should take into account the circularizing of the

expectant mother who applies for information, the care of the new-born babe, and the well-being,

health and nurture of the growing child.

          In the same general line of public welfare, I recommend the enactment of laws on the

following subjects:

1. To assist needy and worthy mothers by a compensation which shall enable them to care for

dependent minor children at home instead of their being cared for in institutions.

2. To designate certain existing officials to comprise and act as an industrial welfare

committee, with power to establish and enforce wage schedules and to regulate the hours of

women and minors in industry.

3. To provide for the paying of convicts' earnings to their department families, after a sufficient

sum is deducted for the convict's maintenance.

4. To give organized labor the right to select the officers of the State Labor Bureau.

5. To help solve the problem of the unemployed by extending the activities of the free

employment bureau.

6. To strengthen the workmen's compensation act for the better protection of the workers.

7. To promote the safety and safeguard the interests of railroad men and the traveling public.
