A STUDY ON EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURES IN THREE AXIS PRO INDUSTRY

PLATE INDUSTRY AT KARUR.

CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT THE STUDY:

EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURES –CONCEPT

“Welfare is a broad concept referring to a state of living of an individual or a group, in a

desirable relationship with the total environment, ecological, economic, and social welfare
includes both the social and economic contents.

IMPORTANCE

The industrial progress depends on a satisfied labor force, and the importance of
employee welfare measures. After the placement of the employees, they should be given proper
training and programmers’ to develop their efficiency so as to serve the organizations better.
Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well – being of the employees. They do not
generally result only in monetary benefit. These welfare measures are provided by government
Non – Government agencies and the employers.

DEFINITIONS OF ‘EMPLOYEE WELFARE’

The Oxford Dictionary defines employee Welfare as ‘Efforts to make life worth living
for workmen’. The concept of ‘Labor welfare’ us flexible elastic and differs widely with time
region, industry social values, customers’ degree of industrialization, the general socio –
development of the people and the political ideologies prevailing at a particular moments.

The International Employee Organization defined Employee Welfare as such services,

facilities and amenities as may be established in or in the vicinity of undertakings to enable the
persons employed in them to perform their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and provided
with amenities conducive to good health and high morale”.
 The Encyclopedia of Social Science defines Employee Welfare as “The voluntary efforts
of the employers to establish, within the existing industrial system, working and sometimes,
living and cultural conditions of the employees beyond what is required by law, the custom of
the country and the conditions of the market”.

The term welfare suggests the state of well being and implies wholesomeness of the
human being. It is a desirable state of existence involving the mental, physical, moral and
emotional factor of a person. Adequate level of earnings, safe and human conditions of work and
access to some minimum social security benefits are the major qualitative dimensions of
employment which enhance quality of life of workers and their productivity.

Institutional mechanisms exist for ensuring these to workers in the organized sector of the
economy. These are being strengthened or expanded to the extent possible. However, workers in
the unorganized sector, who constitute 90 per cent of the total workforce, by and large, do not
have access to such benefits. Steps need to be taken on a larger scale than before to improve the
quality of working life of the unorganized workers, including women workers. Classical
economics and all microeconomics labour is one of four factors of production, the others being
land, capital and enterprise.

It is measure of the work done by human beings. There is a macroeconomics system

theory which have created a concept called human capital (referring to the skills that workers
possess, not necessarily their actual work), although there are also counterpoising
macroeconomic system theories that think human capital is a contradiction in terms.

Labour welfare is the key to smooth employer employee relations. In order to increase
labour welfare, employers offer extra incentives in the form of labour welfare schemes, and to
make it possible to pursued workers to accept mechanization. Sometimes the employers to
combat the influence of outside agencies on their employees use labour welfare as a tool to
minimize the effect they may have on the labour.

AIMS OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE WORK

Labor welfare work aims at providing, such service facilities and amenities which enable
the employees employed in industries / factories to perform their work in a healthy, congenial
surrounding conducive to good health and morale.
 Employee welfare aspects can be considered into negative and positive aspects. IN the
negative side, employee welfare is concerned with counteracting the harmful effects of the large
scale industrialization on the personal, family and social life of the worker. In its positive side,
it deals with the provision of opportunities for the worker and his family for a socially and
personally good life.

WORKING CONDITION

DEFINITION

According to May Smith “The modern concept of industrial healthy working condition
refers to the health is the outcome of the interaction between the individual and his environment.
The modern concept anticipates and recognizes potentially harmful situation and applies
engineering control measures before series of injury results”.

According to Malhotra – Sharma and Nachnatler sign (1997) “The occupational health is
a collective term used to characterize all the various activities and disciplines devote to
maintaining and promoting the health, safety and productivity of wage earners. Occupational
health employees give priority to preventing those illnesses and accidents, which are directly
attributable to or associate with, the work performed”.

WORKING CONDITION

The change in physical working environment brings about a temporary improvement in

morale leading to increase productivity. This is a response to change in general and should be
taken as a response to specific change hence manager has to be careful in generalizing from the
temporary increase in productivity.

SANITATION

Facilities for men and women like toilets, drinking water, rest room lockers, canteen
lockers canteen etc have bearing or employee’s health and productivity some of these factor have
been brought under statutory control and certain minimum facilities have to be provided for.

FATIGUE

Fatigue or decreased capacity to work can come either due to physiological reasons or
environment / nature of work. It sometimes occurs owing to monotony to the work also fatigue
also occurs because of accumulation of wastes like carbon dioxide, lactic acid etc in blood.
Fatigue can generally be lessened by giving rest periods after certain hours of work.

SOCIAL SECURITY
 International employee organization has defined the social security as “That security that
society furnishes, through appropriate organizations, against certain risks to which its members
are exposed”. These risks are ignorance, want, disease, squalor and unemployment. The man
requires freedom from these contingencies and the provisions against these risks can be labeled
as social security measures.

According to B.P. ADARKAR ‘Social security is the security that society furnishes through
appropriate organization against certain risks to which its members are exposed”. Social security
is that security which the society furnishes through appropri9ate organization against certain
risks or contingencies to its members to which are exposed.

Some of the social security measures introduced in the company are;

a) Compensation in case of industrial accidents and injury

b) Protection against illness

c) Maternity benefits to women employees.

d) Provident funds

e) Old age pension and gratuity

f) Health insurance

The connotation of the term ‘Social Security” varies from country to country with different
political ideologies. In socialist countries, the avowed goal is complete protection to every
citizen from the cradle to the grave. In other nations it is a measure of protection offered to all
needy citizens by means of schemes evolved by democratic process consistent with resources of
the state.

According to the social security convention adopted by the ILO in 1952, following are
the components of social security.

I. ESI

II. PF

III. Gratuity
IV. Bonus

V. Casual Leaves

VI. Sickness / Medical leaves

VII. Family security schemes

VIII. Insurance schemes

IX. Accident Benefits

X. Unemployment benefit

XI. Maternity benefit

Social security schemes may be of two types:

a. Social Assistance, under which the state finances the entire cost of the facilities and
benefits provided. Here benefits are paid after testing the financial position of the beneficiary.

b. Social Insurance, under which the state organizes the facilities financed by contributions
from the both the employees and employers with or without a subsidy from the state. Here,
benefits are paid on the basis of the contribution record of the beneficiary without testing his
means.

CHAPTER-II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A Relook to the workplace, states that HR policies are being made flexible. From leaves
to compensations, perks to office facilities, many companies are willing to customize polices to
suit different employee segments. The older employees want social security benefits, younger
employees want cash in hand because they can‟t think of sticking to a company for many years
and retire from the same company. Therefore „one jacket fits all‟ will not be right to motivate
the talents and retain them. Conventions and Recommendation of ILO (1949) sets forth a
fundamental principle at its 26th conference held in Philadelphia recommended some of the
measures in the area of welfare measures which includes adequate protection for life and health
of workers in all occupations, provision for child welfare and maternity protection, provision of
adequate nutrition, housing and facilities for recreation and culture, the assurance of equality of
educational and vocational opportunity etc.,

Report of National Commission on Labour (2002), Government of India, made

recommendations in the area of labour welfare measures which includes social security,
extending the application of the Provident Fund, gratuity and unemployment insurance etc.
Shobha Mishra & Manju Bhagat, in their “Principles for Successful Implementation of Labour
Welfare Activities”, sated that labour absenteeism in Indian industries can be reduced to a great
extent by providing good housing, health and family care, canteen, educational and training
facilities and provision of welfare activities. The principle for successful implementation of
labour welfare activities is nothing but an extension of democratic values in an industrialized
society. P.L.Rao, in his “Labour Legislation in the Making”, opines that professional bodies like
National Institute of Personnel Management should constitute a standing committee to monitor
the proceeding in the Parliament regarding the labour welfare measures

Binoyjoseph,josephinjodey (2009), studies in the article points out that, the structure of
welfare states rests on a social security fabric. Government, employers, trade unions have done a
lot to promote the betterment of workers conditions.

David, A Decenzo (2001) and Stephen P. Robbinsin their book, “Personnel / Human
Resource Management explained the various benefits and services provided by the companies to
their employees. According to them, the legally required benefits and services include social
security premiums, unemployment compensation, workers compensation and state disability
programs. They felt that the cost of the voluntary benefits offered appears to be increasing.

Michael (2001) in his book, “Human Resource Management and Human Relations” said
that the provision of intra-mural and extra-mural welfare facilities help in improving the quality
of work life of employee’s thereby good human relations will develop among different cadres of
employees.

Punekar, Deodhar and Sankaran (2004) in their book, “Labor Welfare, Trade Unionism
and Industrial Relations” stated that labor welfare is anything done for the comfort
andimprovement, intellectual and social-well being of the employees over and above the wages
paid which is not a necessity of the industry.

Aswathappa (2010) in his book, “Human Resource Management “discussed the various
types of benefits and services provided to employee’s in terms of payment for time not worked,
insurance benefits, compensation benefits, pension plans etc. He also discussed the ways to
administer the benefits and services in a better way.

of the study helps the management to know about the shortcoming in managing employees and
that also encourage them to take action to reduce their shortcomings.
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

1. To study the existing welfare facilities provided to the employees.

2. To know the employees opinion about the present welfare facilities.

3. To study the satisfaction of workers towards the present welfare facilitie

NEED FOR THE STUDY:

To know that whether welfare facilities play an important role on the working of employees, And
to know hen the employees are dissatisfied welfare facilities will help them to get motivated.
Employees play an important role in the industrial production of the country. Hence,
organizations have to secure the cooperation of employees in order to increase the production
and to earn higher profits. The cooperation of employees is possible only when they are fully
satisfied with their employer and the working conditions on the job. In the past, industrialists and
the employers believed that their only duty towards their employees was to pay them satisfactory
wages and salaries.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

 The study was purely based on the information given by the employees and there are
chances for gave wrong data.
 The time period was not sufficient for the study
 The sample size is 50, so the employee’s opinion may not reflect the exact scenario.
 Employees are very busy in their work so they gave answers very much in the
questionnaire method.
 Certain employees were biased in answering to the questions.
 Some employed are illiterate and may not be able to fill up the questionnaire themselves.

INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTION:

 Paper Plates Items such as Paper cups, saucers, Glass, Paper Platesplates is finding
extensive usage these days for serving eatables in parties, functions and social
gatherings. Paper Plates are the most commonly used disposable crokery in India. Paper
Plates consists of sheet materials and are comprised of bonded small discrete fibers which
are usually cellulosic in nature and are held together by secondary bonds most probably
the hydrogen bonds. Paper Plates is made in a wide variety of types and grades to serve
many functions. Writing and printing Paper Plates constitute approx 30% of the total
  Production. The balance except for tissue and toweling is used for manufacturing Paper
Platesboards used primarily for packaging or for Paper Plates Items. Paper Platesboard
differs from Paper Platesin that it generally is thicker, heavier, and less flexible
than conventional Paper Plates Plates.
 Disposable Paper Platesplates and saucers as the name suggests are made out of special
quality Paper Platesreinforced with polythene sheets to make it leak proof. These
products are conveniently used for serving eatables during family functions, eating chats
and snacks, fruits, sweets etc.
 Most of the sweet shops use it for serving their customers with dry as well as wet sweets/
namkeens. The caterers utilize it during parties and social functions. These are a
convenient replacement for crockery and utensils.
 These have many advantages over conventional crockery/ Plates utensils. Whereas
conventional utensils need care in handling, have to be cleaned before and after use need
lot of space for storage and are difficult to handle these products are light in weight, are
disposable after use, cheaper and can be stored easily.
 These are very cheap as compared to convention utensils. The Paper Platesplates and
bowls are made by fusing two layers of good quality Paper Plates with a sheet of
polythene. The product can be in any desired shape and size depending upon the die
employed for manufacture. The quality of Paper Platesused is generally of importance as
it should be firm enough to maintain the shape and hold the weight of the eatable served
in it.

MARKET POTENTIAL:

 These products have an urban as well as rural market. These products are mostly used
during social functions, religious gatherings, parties, marriages, outings, in sweet shops,
by caterers etc. The products have many advantages and are hence preferred as
compared to standard utensils/crockery for serving eatables. They can easily be disposed
off after use and hence save a lot of labor as far as cleaning/drying of utensils are
concerned. These are easily transportable and easy to handle. In our country people are
religious and organize functions throughout the year all such occasions call for social
 gathering and celebrations with meals, snacks sweets being served. Further, our vast
population organizes marriages, celebrates birthdays and other family functions on a
regular basis. Sweet shops and small eateries can be found at every street corner and all
such joints use these disposable plates and bowls. Thus keeping in view the culture of
the people and the habits there is a vast market for the products not only in urban areas
but also in rural areas.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS & KNOW:

 How The process of manufacturing is not very complicated. The product is manufactured
using the specific die. The Paper Platesand the polythene sheets are previously cut to size
or can also be purchased as per the production requirement. The specific die is mounted
on the press and the die is heated to the desired temperature.
 The two layers of Paper Platesand the polythene sheets are placed in between the male-
female die parts and pressure is applied so that the product takes shape. The formed
product is next removed and another set is loaded. The machine is an ordinary press with
one fixed platform and another moving plunger.
 The movement of the plunger is through hydraulic mechanism. The formed products are
collected and the edges are trimmed to give it a proper shape. The plates and bowls are
packed separately and stocked for dispatch. Know how is available with the machinery
suppliers. The machinery is all indigenously available. The production capacity
envisaged is 30000-40000 nos per day per machine on two shift basis for 300 days per
year.

PLANT AND MACHINERY:

 The main plant and machinery required comprise

 Double die press with dies. Electrically operated. - 1 no
 Bag sealing machine - 1no.
 Weighing scales.
 The total cost of machinery is estimated to be Rs.0.50 lakhs.
  The unit will also require miscellaneous assets such as furniture, fixtures, storage facilities
etc. the total cost of these is estimated to be Rs. 0.20 lakhs.
 The total requirement of power shall be 3 HP. The unit will need water for general
