Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Both 1 and 2
The 2018 amendment introduced ‘fixed-term employment’; such workers can be released automatically on expiry of the contract without retrenchment notice or compensation, making layoffs easier for firms (Statement 1). Paragraph 13-B of the amended rules explicitly says “no notice of termination of employment shall be necessary in the case of temporary workman” (Statement 2). Hence both statements are correct.
