Power to make rules. * * * * STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS. Act 18 of 1992:- Employers very often resort to suspension of workmen on the ground that an enquiry into alleged misconduct is pending or that a complaint of criminal offence against the workman is under investigation or trial. In certain cases employers do not make payment of any subsistence allowance during the period of such suspension. The Model Standing Orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 provide for payment of such subsistence allowance during suspension. It is the experience that several establishments to whom the Industrial Employment (Standing orders) Act, applies have not made necessary provisions in their Standing Orders to provide for payment of subsistence allowance, as their standing orders had been certified prior to the Model standing orders being framed. There is also no legislation or rule for payment of subsistence allowance to suspended workman, in establishments to which the Standing Orders Act, does not apply. It is, therefore, necessary to enact a legislation to provide for payment of subsistence allowance to suspended workman. (Vide L.A.Bill No. 11 of 1998.
