The Delhi government has taken proactive steps to address non-payment of bonuses to outsourced workers employed by various government departments through contractors, Labour Minister Raaj Kumar Anand said on Thursday.
He said the Arvind Kejriwal government is fully committed to uphold the rights and entitlements of all workers, including outsourced employees. These rights include minimum wages as well as bonus and other financial assistance provided from time to time. This step is taken to ensure the bonus is disbursed before the deepawali festival.
According to the Act, it is the responsibility of the contractors to ensure the payment of bonuses to their employees, as these contractors are the direct employers of these workers.
