Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 2(l) of the Code on Wages, 2019 defines "employer" as a person who employs one or more employees in his establishment, directly or through any person. It expressly includes the occupier and named manager of a factory, and the person or authority having ultimate control over the affairs of any other establishment. It also includes a contractor and the legal representative of a deceased employer. An apprentice engaged under the Apprentices Act, 1961 is excluded even from "employee" in section 2(k). The Inspector-cum-Facilitator (section 51) and members of an Advisory Board (section 42) perform statutory functions and are not employers because of those offices.
