Organised sector covers those enterprises or places of work where
the terms of employment are regular and therefore, people have assured work.
They are registered by the government and have to follow its rules and
regulations which are given in various laws such as the Factories Act, Minimum
Wages Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Shops and Establishments Act, etc. It is
called organised because it has some formal processes and procedures. Some
of these people may not be employed by anyone but may work on their own
but they too have to register themselves with the government and follow the
rules and regulations.
Workers in the organised sector enjoy the security of employment.
They are expected to work only a fixed number of hours. If they work more,
they have to be paid overtime by the employer. They also get several other
benefits from employers. They get paid leave, payment during holidays, provident
fund, gratuity, etc. They are supposed to get medical benefits and, under the
laws, the factory manager has to ensure facilities like drinking water and a safe
working environment. When they retire, these workers get pensions as well.
In contrast, the unorganised sector is characterised by small and
scattered units which are largely outside the control of the government. There
are rules and regulations but these are not followed. Jobs here are low-paid and
often not regular. There is no provision for overtime, paid leave, holidays, leave
due to sickness, etc. Employment is not secure. People can be asked to leave
without any reason. When there is less work, such as during some seasons,
some people may be asked to leave. A lot also depends on the whims of the
employer. This sector includes a large number of people who are employed on
their own doing small jobs such as selling on the street or doing repair work.
Similarly, farmers work on their own and hire labourers as and when they
require.
