INTRODUTION TO THE PROJECT

Social scientists have remarked that the problems of our contemporary

civilization are most marked in highly industrialized societies. Industrialization has
contributed not only to economic &scientific development but also to social &
psychological distress & work for social welfare of mankind.
This employee benefit approach has become necessary because of the
social problems that have emerged as result of industrialization in a capital setting. As
against these social problems, mainly social benefit amenities have been provided in
the industrial society for the benefit of the employees in various industrial units. There
is an increasing awareness and recognition in developing as well as developed
countries of the need for such beneficial measures in industrial employment. Very
many industrial undertakings and also the states have accepted this responsibility, as
districts from the economic activity of employment and production and strive for the
benefit of the working class. Thus, the importance of the employee benefit has been
increasingly recognized side with the economic development and industrialization.

In pas thirty years, India has devoted considerable attention to rapid

heavy industrialization. Corresponding to this, employee benefit in India has also
gained in importance. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that employee
benefit is now offered as one of the subjects for study by students. A study of this
subject, which involves the employee problems and employee benefit movements of
today, will also be of interest to those students who may have a future role to play in
industrial welfare fields.

Benefits of the Employee today has become a very wide subject,

comprehensive and controversial. It covers a very broad field. The term benefit
suggests many ideas, meanings and connotations, such as the state of well being,
health, happiness and prosperity and the development of human resources. It is a
desirable state of existence involving the physical, mental, moral and emotional well
being.

DYPIMS Page 2
 The social concept of benefit implies the benefit of man, his family and
his community. There is interconnection among these three aspects, in the sense that all
the three work together or individually supplement one another, in a three dimensional
approach, each mutually serving as ends and means.
Benefit is called a relative concept, for it is related to time and space,
changes in which have an impact on the system of welfare too.

We all know employee is an important resource of an organization.

There are 4 pillars on which an organization stands. Those are men, material, machine
and money. But out of them the manpower is the real power of the organization.

After the industrialization many problems did arise. Some were directly
related to employee. The problem of low wages, long working hour health and safety,
recruitment of qualified employees, absenteeism. Absenteeism has been a serious
problem in a developing country like India. Employee Benefit in simple words is a
welfare facility which is provided by employer to this employee for their betterment.

However the concept of employee benefit is flexible, elastic and it differs from
country to country. The concept of employee benefit originated in the desire for a
humanitarian approach to the sufferings of the working class. It has become a
motivating force for employees.

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 BACKGROUND

THEREOTICAL BACKGROUND

Employee Benefit Concept

The growing attention that is being paid to the employee problems of the
present time is an indication of the increasing importance of the working classes in the
economic and social structure of modern countries. The term of employee welfare
derived from French phrase welfare which means to farewell, the total concept as
desirable state of existence involved in the physical, mental, morale & emotional well
being. These four elements together constitute the structure of employee benefit
concept which is a dynamic & flexible concept. Its meaning & contains differed from

DYPIMS Page 6
time to time, region to region, industry to industry & country depending upon various
factor.
Definition.
Many authors give defamations of Employee benefits. There is no
precise definition
Mr. Arthur James Todd. “A series of sharply diverse opinion exists on the
motive & merits of industrial welfare according to the report of employee
organization."
Worker’s benefit should be an extent as meaning such services, facilities &
amenities which may be established in or the vicinity or undertaking to enable the
person employed in them to perform their work in healthy manner.
The report of the committee on employee benefit such services, facilities,
amenities & adequate canteen, rest facilities arranged for travel to far accommodation
for workers employed at a distance from their homes & such other services, amenities
& facilities including social security measures as a contribution to improve the
condition under which workers are employed.

DYPIMS Page 7
 Employee Benefit today has become a wide subject, comprehensive &
controversial. It covers a very broad field. The term benefit suggests many ideas
meanings and connotations, such as the state of well being, health, happiness &
prosperity & the development of human resources. The social concept of benefit
implies the benefit of the man, his family & his community. There is a interconnection
among these three aspect, in the sense that all the three work together or individually
supplement one another in a three dimensional approach each mutually serving as ends
means.
Benefit is called relative concept, for it is related to time & space, changes in
which have an impact on the system.
The characteristics of employee benefit vary for it depends largely on the
conscience of the community, the scientific advancement & the development nation in
all fields.
Employee Benefit is also a positive concept. In order to establish minimum
level of facility, it demands certain minimum acceptable contentions of existence
biologically & socially. This positive nature calls for setting our of minimum desirable
standards necessary in regards to certain components of benefit such as health, food,
clothing, housing, insurance, education, recreation and so on.
However, the employee benefit has both positive & negative sides associated to
it. On the positive side, it deals with provisions of opportunities which enable the
worker & his family to lead a good life socially & personally, as well as help him
adjust in the social transition in regard to his work life, family life & social life.
On the negative side, employee benefit functions, in order to neutralize the
beneficial effects of large scale industrialization & provide a counter balance to the
undesirable social consequences & the employee problem which have evolved in the
process of these transitions the world employee means the productive activity.
Thus in broader sense, the phrase 'Employee Benefit' means the adoption of
measures to promote the physical, psychological, social & general well being of the
working population. Welfare worked in any industry aims or should aim at improving
working and living conditions of worker and their families.
The concept of employee benefits originated in the desire for a humanitarian
approach to reduce the sufferings of the working class. Later it became a utilitarian

DYPIMS Page 8
philosophy which works as a motivating force for employees & those who were
interested in it.

THEORIES OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT:-

Five theories, constituting the conceptual framework of employee benefits have

so far been outlined:-

1. The Policy Theory:-

This theory is based on the contention that minimum standard of facility is
necessary for employees.
If wealth and authority are both helping the man to be in advantages position he
uses it for his own advantage, exploiting those who are under him. According to this
theory, owners and managers of industrial undertaking get many opportunities for this
kind of exploitations. Laws are enacted to compel management to provide minimum
wages congeal working condition reasonable hours of work and social security
therefore the police theory leads to
• The passing of laws relating to the
provision of minimum welfare of the
workers.
• The periodical supervision to ascertain that these beneficiaries are provided and
implemented.
• Punishment to employer who disobeys
these laws. In this theory the
emphasis is unfortunately on fear and not on the spirit of welfare.

2. The Religious Theory:-

This theory is based on the concept that man is essentially a religious animal
and religious feelings of the man sometimes prompt an employer to take up welfare
activities in the expectation of further benefits. Thus, any good work in considered as
investment for both benefactor and beneficiary.

3. Trusteeship Theory:-

DYPIMS Page 9
 According to this theory the industrialist are the employer who holds the total
industrial estate, properties and benefit and profits accelerating from them in trust. In
other words he uses it for himself, for benefit of his worker and also for society. The
main emphasis here is on the idea that employers should provide out the funds under
their control, for the well being of their workers. It has no legal sanction so its value is
related to moral conscience of industrialists. This theory treats worker as perpetual
minors and industrialists as external guardians.

4. Public Relation Theory:-

This theory provides the basis for an atmosphere of goodwill between an
employee and management and also between management and public. Employee
Benefit programs under this theory works as a sort of advertisement and help an
industrialist to build good and healthy public relations. An advertisement or exhibition
of employee benefit program may help an industrialist to project to the public a good
image of his company.

5. The Placating Theory:-

This theory is based on the fact that employee groups are becoming demanding
and militant and are more conscious of the rights and privileges than ever, according to
this theory timely and periodical acts of employee welfare can appease the workers
psychology. This is also called as paternalistic theory.

Classification of Employee Benefit:-

Employee benefit can be broadly divided in to two categories-
1. Statutory:-
Statutory benefit consists of those provisions of welfare works which depend
for their implementation on coercive powered by law to fulfill their statutory obligation
on welfare. Every country is gradually increasing statutory control over employee
benefit.
2. Non statutory:-
Non statutory benefits measure includes all those activities which employers
undertake for the welfare of their workers on voluntary basis, trade unions etc.
undertake voluntary welfare work for the benefit of their members.

DYPIMS Page 10
Necessity of Employee Benefits:-
The necessity of employee benefit is felt more because of the developing
economy aimed at rapid economic and social development. In this process it is trying
to check the baneful effects of industrial revolution which are adversely affected the
people all over the world. The necessity of employee benefit came in a generous
mention in a resolution passed by Indian national congress. The resolution emphasized
that the state should safe guard the interest of industrial workers and should secure
them, by suitable legislation, a living wage/salary healthy conditions to work limited
hours of work suitable machinery for settlement of disputes between employees and
workmen and protection against the economic consequences of old age sickness and
unemployment.

Employee Benefit facilities serve the following purposes:-

Industrial Peace:-
The Employee Benefit activities influence the sentiment of workmen when the
workers felt that the employer and states are interested in their happiness, his tendency
to grouse and gamble will steadily disappear the development of such feeling and we
should increase the industrial peace.

Proper Thinking:-
The various beneficial measures such as housing scheme, canteens, medical
facilities etc. make the workmen to realize that they are safe industry in which they are
engaged and so they will think thrice before taking any reckless action which may
disturb the interest of industry.

Real income of workmen:-

The beneficial measures such as cheap food in canteen, free medical and
educational facilities increase the real income. This will avoid industrial disputes and
strikes.

DYPIMS Page 11
Employee Absenteeism and Turnover:-
The benefit activities will reduce the employee absenteeism and turnover and
create permanent settles employee force by making services more attractive for
workmen.

Mental health of workmen:-

The benefit activity will help to make some betterment in mental and moral
health of workmen which will improve their physical intelligence and standard of
living.

High productivity:-
The beneficial measure always increases the efficiency and productivity and
productivity of industry. A high standard of efficiency can be expressed only from
those persons who are physically fit and free from mental worries who are properly
treated trained, clothed and properly housed.
Co-operation:-
The employee benefits work intend to develop a real change of hearts and
change interest taken the past of employees and workers. This may provide a proper
cooperation for industrial peace.

Reducing the Cost of Production:-

It can be achieved by keeping workmen satisfied with the proper working
conditions. It will also help to reduce the different type of wastage and also total cost of
production of factory.

OBJECTIVES OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT:-

The objective of employee benefit has progressively changed during the last
few decades. From the primitive policing and placating philosophy of employee
benefit, it gradually moved to the era of paternalism with philanthropic objectives.
Even today there is an evidence of humanitarian outlook of some of the employees in
many employee welfare programmers.

DYPIMS Page 12
 The recent thinking in employee benefit however, is more oriented towards
increasing productivity and efficiency at workplace. An outstanding trend today is that
it has become a comprehensive concept concerned with the development of total
human personality embracing physical, mental, social, psychological and spiritual
aspect of employee well being.

The aim of employee benefit activities are:-

Partly humanitarian:-
To enable workers to enjoy a fuller and richer life.

Partly economic:-
To improve the efficiency of workers.

Partly civic:-
To develop among the workers a sense of responsibility and dignity thus make
them worthy citizens of the nation.

Another objective of Employee Benefit is to fulfill the future needs and

aspirations of working class.

SCOPE OF EMPLOYEE BENEFIT-

It is somewhat difficult to lie down accurately, the scope of employee benefit
because of the fact that employee is composed of a dynamic individual with complex
needs. The scope of employee benefit has been described by institutions of different
shades in different ways. It can be interpreted in different ways by different countries,
with varying stages of economic development, political outlook and social philosophy.
The scope of employee benefit has to be elastic and flexible enough to suit the
existing conditions of workers and to include all essential prerequisites of life and the
minimum basic amenities.
The subject of employee benefit facilities is broad one covering a wide field of
amenities, activities and services. Employee Benefit services should include all extra
mural, intramural welfare work, statutory, non statutory welfare facilities undertaken

DYPIMS Page 13
by the employees, govt., trade unions such as adequate canteens, rest and recreational
facilities sanitary and medical facilities, arrangements of tours etc.
The scope of employee benefit should also include social security measure
which contributes to the workers benefit such as industrial health, insurance, provident
fund, gratuity, maternity benefits, workmen compensations, retirement benefits etc.

KEY CONCEPT:-
STATUTORY BENEFIT MEASURES:-
• Washing Facilities:-
a) In every factory – adequate and suitable facilities for washing should be
provided and maintained for the use of workers therein.
b).The state govt. may in respect of any factory or class or description of
factories or of any manufacturing process, prescribe standards of adequate and suitable
facilities for washing.
• Facilities for sitting:-
a) In every factory suitable arrangements for sitting shall be provided and
maintained for all workers obliged to work in a standing position, in order that they
may take advantage of any opportunities for rest which may occur in their course of

There should be first aid box equipped with the prescribed contents and the number of
such boxes or cupboards to be provided and maintained shall not be less than one for
every one hundred and fifty workers ordinarily employed at one time in the factory.
• Canteens:-
a) The state govt. make the rules requiring that in any specified factory wherein
more than two hundred and fifty workers are employed , a canteen or canteens should

provision for clean drinking water where workers can eat their food.

Voluntary beneficiary measures:-

• Educational Facilities:-
Part in motivating and enabling the working population for changes necessary
for accelerated progress and for their mental and physical development. Improvement
in the quality of the industrial workforce demands accelerated space of economic
development for which education of workers, their families and children is very
essential. Hence necessary financial and non financial incentives should be provided
for effective implementation of various adult education programs. It is also important
that the children of the worker should be provided with educational facilities.
• Medical Facilities:-
The employer provides medical facilities to their workers and their family.
The workmen in the department undertaking or governed by the medical rules and
other medical facilities both indoor an outdoor. These undertakings are provided by
well equipped first aid centers, ambulance and even a small hospital either in factory
premises or inside the township.
• Transport Facilities:-
Transport facilities to the worker residing at a long distance are essential to
relieve them from strain and anxiety. Such facilities also provide greater opportunities
for relaxation and recreation and help in reducing the rate of absenteeism. The
provision of transport facilities to industrial workers forms an integral part of general
transport facility and his by and large responsibility of employer.
• Recreational Facilities:-

capacity to contribute to social development. It provides an opportunity to develop his
sense of physical and mental discipline. It creates healthy climate for industrial peace
and progress.
