Now, ultimately it was decided that those drinking tea shall be provided tea and those not drinking tea shall be provided with snacks- 1 time of same value. They demanded that if they are not drinking tea, Management shall pay them with Rs. The union raised the problem that what about those not drinking the tea esp. Management agrees to provide the 2 cups of tea. Actually the problem was something like this. I am trying to workout some way based on your suggestions. Thank you Akatrap, Mr Kanan and others for their valuable suggestion, But at the end of the day please ensure that you do not exceed Rs.14/ head/ day of attendance to contain cost.

The reasons for this is either the brand you are distributing may be withdrawn by the manufacturer or he might introduce an so called improved version at a higher price. But please indicate to your workmen that you are not committing yourself to distribute biscuits of a particular brand and you will only distribute biscuits of your choice based on the value and not on the brand. On the other hand if someone distributes it at their work spot you can avoid it as this will not require any policing.įor snacks you can think of distributing biscuit packets. If you make it self vending then there is a possiblity of workmen to crowd there and chat (this is not beneficial in the long run). You can either make it self vending or have someone to vend it and distribute.

It hovers around the price you are indicating. The third thing is for tea and coffee you may consider installing a vending machine. But please note that this monetary part of Rs.14/-/ day will be a subject point for negotiation every time the settlement is due. Thereby you will ensure that you make payment only for those days he has worked. The second thing is if your worker is acceptable to receive the tea and snacks in the form of money please go ahead and pay them Rs.6/- (for two cups of tea) and Rs.8- for snacks i.e Rs.14/- X the number of day they report for work. If you are not required to run a canteen then refrain from it.

First please find out whether for your strength of employees you are required to run a canteen.
