A day with CLRA Compliance
This agent is described as it will work and is set up and checked with each client. Contractor and licence records for contract labour are not yet part of the app, so treat the steps as the plan for your business. CLRA is the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act.
- You list your contractors. Each contractor, the licence they hold, its validity, and how many workers they put on each site.
- It checks the licence. Is each licence still valid, and when does it lapse?
- It checks cover. Are the contract workers covered by PF and ESI, and are the headcount limits that bring the rules into play reached at your site?
- It lists what it found. Each finding comes with its reasons.
- Your HR and payroll lead reviews. They confirm with the contractor or your adviser and decide what to do.
What it reads and what it hands back
| What it reads | What it hands back | Where it lands |
|---|---|---|
| Contractor and licence details you provide | Whether each licence is valid and when it lapses | A list of findings for the HR and payroll lead |
| Workers on each site | Whether PF and ESI cover and the headcount limits apply | The same list |
| Nothing from outside your account | No filing, no message to the contractor | Nothing leaves Kinnow |
Tell us how many contractors and sites you manage. We will show how this agent would be set up.
What a person decides
Nothing is filed, paid or posted without a person. The law and the contractor relationship stay with you and your adviser.
- Your adviser confirms the rules. The limits that bring the law into play, and what they mean for your sites, are for your adviser to confirm.
- You decide what to do about a finding. Renew, replace a contractor, or raise it with them.
- It never files anything. It does not contact a contractor or an authority.
Ask Kinnow about this
Ask Kinnow answers from your own records and shows its source and cost before it runs. What you get back depends on what has been recorded.
| You might ask | What the answer shows |
|---|---|
| Which of our contractors' licences expire in the next 60 days? | The contractors and lapse dates, if the licences are recorded. |
| Which sites are close to the headcount limits? | Sites and contract headcounts from the records you hold, set against the limits your adviser confirms. |
| Are our contract workers on PF and ESI? | The cover recorded in payroll for them. |
Ask us how contract labour compliance would work for your sites.

Questions
What does the CLRA Compliance agent do?
Designed to check PF and ESI cover for contract labour, whether each licence is still valid and whether the limits that trigger the rules apply to your site workforces.
