Inclusion of Employment in Tourist Guide and Tourism Related Works under the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982, Amendment to Notification
The Labour Welfare and Skill Development Department, through G.O. Ms. No. 152, Labour Welfare and Skill Development (I1), dated 17th November 2022, published an amendment made by the Governor of Tamil Nadu to the Schedule to the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982. The amendment adds “Employment in tourism related works” as item 70 in the Schedule.
What the amendment does
G.O. Ms. No. 152, Labour Welfare and Skill Development (I1), dated 17th November 2022, amends the Schedule to the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982. The Governor of Tamil Nadu made the amendment using the power stated in Section 29 of that Act.
The operative change is limited and specific:
- A new item is inserted after item 69 in the Schedule.
- The new entry is item 70.
- Item 70 reads, “Employment in tourism related works.”
The heading also refers to employment in tourist guide and tourism related works. However, the actual wording inserted into the Schedule is “Employment in tourism related works.”
Who may be affected
The amendment published by the Labour Welfare and Skill Development Department is relevant to people engaged in tourism related work and to persons or organisations dealing with such employment. It brings that category of employment into the Schedule to the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982.
The notification does not provide a detailed definition or list of activities covered by “tourism related works.” It also does not set out any separate rate, fee, registration procedure, benefit or application process on the published page.
What property readers should note
G.O. Ms. No. 152 concerns the regulation of employment and conditions of work for manual workers. The published amendment does not change land ownership, property registration, planning permission, building approval, land classification or land use.
A property buyer or owner would therefore use this notification only if their activities involve employment in tourism related works. Any wider duties or entitlements would need to be determined from the Tamil Nadu Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Work) Act, 1982 and other applicable material, because they are not stated on this page.
Publication details
The amendment was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary, No. 519, Part II, Section 2, on 17th November 2022. The Gazette was printed and published by the Commissioner of Stationery and Printing, Chennai, on behalf of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
