Hi, will an IT worker come in the category of workman or non-workman?

Oh, this is a tough one and I'm not sure if a clear answer has been found yet. But I do remember that the Karnataka High Court had recently ruled that an IT employee without supervisory responsibilities is a workman. Not sure if that is being used as a precedent in other states or if it has been challenged.

Depending on the job duties and salary of the IT employee, it is to be categorised.

Thank you for the inputs!

hi @Malini Lakshman the definition of workman applies to employees working in the IT sector as well, any employee who is an individual contributor without any supervisory function is termed as a workman, Designations and Job titles cannot be taken into account here. some one with a Manager Title acting as an individual contributor can also fall under the category of a workman. the below article explains it further. Hope this helps. https://www.mondaq.com/india/employee-rights-labour-relations/434328/workman-under-industrial-disputes-act-1947
