Consider the following statements:<br/>As per the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Central (Amendment) Rules, 2018<br/>1. if rules for fixed-term employment are implemented, it becomes easier for the firms/companies to lay off workers<br/>2. no notice of termination of employment shall be necessary in the case of temporary workman<br/><br/>Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Correct. The 2018 amendment formally introduced fixed-term employment in the Standing Orders framework. Fixed-term workers can be hired for a specified period and their employment ends automatically on expiry of the contract, making workforce adjustment easier for firms without following the usual retrenchment route.

2. Correct. Under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) framework, temporary workmen can be terminated without notice; the requirement of notice does not apply in their case.

Therefore, both statements are correct.
