Journey allowance for inter-State migrant workers applies after 180 days of service and follows employer changes. Journey allowance is payable to an inter-State migrant worker as a lump sum for to and fro travel between the place of employment and the home State residence, by train, bus, or other passenger transport, where the worker has completed at least 180 days in the preceding twelve months. The allowance is payable once in twelve months. If the worker changes employer and has not availed the allowance from the previous employer, the present employer must pay it on the basis of the worker's certificate, if the 180-day requirement is met including prior service.
