A contract labour in India, according to the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, is a person hired, supervised, contracted, and remunerated by a contractor for the user enterprise.

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).

The Act regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishments and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. The principal employer has certain obligations under the Act regarding the welfare of contract labour, but the direct employment relationship is between the contractor and the contract labour.
