The Act defines “contract labour” as someone employed in connection with the work of an establishment who is hired, supervised, and supplied by a contractor to the establishment. The contractor is the immediate employer who pays wages to the contract labour, while the work is done for the principal employer’s establishment. The definition implies that the contractor is responsible for engaging the labourer (hiring/contracting), directing their work (supervising), and paying them (remunerating).
