Hey there, folks! It looks like Ernst & Young (EY) is in hot water again. The global consulting firm has failed to cough up some crucial documents required by the Maharashtra Labour Department. Yup, they missed the seven-day deadline like a student cramming for exams at the last minute.
These documents are no joke – we’re talking about the ‘Register of Overtime’ and the ‘Register of Attendance’ as per Indian employment laws. The department is not messing around, especially after the tragic passing of 26-year-old EY employee Anna Sebastian Perayil. The poor girl’s death has raised eyebrows about EY’s work culture and labor practices.
State officials even paid a visit to EY’s Pune office to check things out. But guess what? EY didn’t have all their paperwork in order. Additional Labour Commissioner Shailendra Pol spilled the tea to Punekar News, saying EY needs to get their act together and submit those docs ASAP.
Rumor has it that Perayil’s demise was due to being overworked. This has put EY in the spotlight, considering they advise big-shot clients on following the rules while allegedly not practicing what they preach. And get this – EY’s Pune office wasn’t even properly registered under the Shops and Establishment Act. Ouch.
Union Minister of Labour and Employment, Mansukh Mandaviya, has promised to get to the bottom of Perayil’s case and take action accordingly. The plot thickens with a letter from Perayil’s mom to EY India’s chairman going viral, shedding light on the intense pressure her daughter faced at work.
This whole situation has sparked a much-needed conversation about labor protections in high-stress corporate settings. Let’s hope EY gets their act together before things get even messier. Stay tuned for more updates, folks!
