ANDHRA PRADESH EMPLOYMENT OF LOCAL CANDIDATES IN INDUSTRIES/FACTORIES ACT, 2019
July 23, 2019
Andhra Pradesh became the first state to reserve jobs for locals in all private industrial units and factories, irrespective of whether the companies get financial or any other help from the government.
About:
The assembly passed the Andhra Pradesh Employment of Local Candidates in Industries/Factories Act, 2019.
Key features:
It reserves 75% private jobs across all categories in industrial units, factories, joint ventures and projects in public-private partnership mode.
If locals with necessary skills are not available, then companies must train them in association with the state government and hire them.
Only those units that are listed in the first schedule of the Factories Act will be exempted from the Act, after the government approval. These are mostly hazardous industries like petroleum, pharmaceuticals, coal, fertilisers and cement, among others.
Companies will have to comply with these provisions within three years of the commencement of the Act.
