Contract labour applicability covers establishments or contractors with fifty or more contract workers; intermittent work is excepted.

Applicability of Part I attaches where an establishment or a manpower supply contractor has employed fifty or more contract labourers on any day in the preceding twelve months; such thresholds bring them within the contract labour provisions. Exclusion applies only to work of an intermittent or casual nature, but the appropriate Government, after consulting the National Board or a State Advisory Board, has final authority to decide that characterisation. Work exceeding specified duration thresholds (over 120 days in twelve months, or seasonal work over 60 days) is not deemed intermittent.
