Contract Labour
Contract Labour : This is the term which is generally used to refer to the various ways of employing labour other than under a normal employment contract. Conceptually, it is viewed more in the nature of a commercial relationship and less of an employment relationship. In the case of a commercial relationship, the contractual relationship is deemed to be between independent contracting parties placed on an equal footing, neither of which is in a position the other that justifies special protection by law, beyond the normal support for the principle of the sanctity of the contract. On the other hand, the normal employment relationship is based on the contract of employment, under which the worker agrees to perform work for and under the authority of an employer. Two other terms which are often used as synonymous with contract labour are "contracting" and "subcontracting". In some countries, these terms often carry a fine distinction, reflecting such matters as skills, white collar functions, construction work, and the sequence of the contracting arrangement. However, the term subcontracting is more frequently used in labour law and practice
