What is Contract Labour Act?

India's central legislation, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, that regulates the employment of contract workers through contractors in establishments, requiring registration of principal employers, licensing of contractors, and providing for abolition of contract labor in certain cases.

Why it matters in hiring

Contract Labour Act comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
