Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act (CLRA)

End-to-End Contractor & Principal Employer Compliance with Groniva HRMS

The Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 (CLRA Act) places significant compliance responsibility on principal employers and contractors. Any lapse—missing registers, underpayment of wages, invalid licenses, or non-compliant contractors—can result in penalties, prosecution, and business disruption. CLRA Act Compliance in Groniva HRMS delivers a centralized, automated, and inspection-ready framework to manage contract labour governance end-to-end.

This module embeds CLRA compliance directly into HR, contractor management, payroll, and audit workflows.

  • Contractor registration and licensing tracking
