ABSTRACT

The industrial development in any country depends on a satisfied employee force. Mere monetary rewards

cannot make them feel satisfied. Various other benefits are to be provided to the workers, which they cannot secure, by

themselves. In almost all the countries of the world, statutory measures were taken to ensure a minimum living wage

and reasonably good amenities. But the modern worker cannot cope with the pace of modern life with minimum

sustenance (food) amenities. The bare minimum amenities alone cannot satisfy the employee force and ensure the

intellectual, physical, moral and economic betterment of the workers. He needs an added stimulus to keep his body and

soul together. But the provision of these benefits or extra stimuli is not compulsory and the employers are at liberty to

provide or not to provide. These non-statutory benefits are denoted as employee welfare measures and they are of great

importance to the workers. The money spent on this is not waste but in fact a wise investment.

KEYWORDS: Employee Force, Non-Statutory, Wise Investment
