    Important Facts:<\/b><\/p>\n

    Fixed-term employment<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Fixed-term employment is a contract in which a company or an enterprise hires an employee for a specific period of time.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Under fixed-term employment, workers are entitled to statutory benefits available to a permanent worker in the same factory, including work hours, wages, and allowances.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      FTE Notification:<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In March 2018, the Centre notified FTE under which workers will be entitled to benefits available to permanent workers. <\/span><\/li>\n
      2. The notification does not permit conversion of permanent posts into FTE ones but is aimed at turning contract workers into FTE ones.<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. FTEs are expected to improve working conditions in industries, boost employment and execute specific projects efficiently in sectors like infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Challenges:<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. The present FTE rules are not clearly defined. They do not mention minimum or maximum term of an FTE and the maximum permissible number of consecutive FTEs.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. According to informal reports, industries are reluctant to provide FTEs due to rising costs and obligations<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. States are not bound to accept the notification as FTE has been notified by an executive order, without the Parliament ratifying it. This is because labour is a Concurrent List subject, as per which the States are bound only by a central law.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Recommendations<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. In order to promote employment through FTEs, the FTE norms should be laid down in a transparent and consensual manner<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Labour reforms should be accompanied with better social safety net- it is important to ensure better state-funded health and educational opportunities<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. The FTE norms should be made ratified by the parliament for universal adoption across industries and states.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
