The Kerala Shops and Commercial Establishment Workers' Welfare Fund (Amendment) Act, 2008, modifies the 2006 legislation to streamline welfare benefits for shop and commercial workers in Kerala. It clarifies that workers already covered by the Factories Act or Plantation Labour Act are excluded from this specific fund. Crucially, it mandates that shop workers previously enrolled in the general Kerala Labour Welfare Fund must transfer their membership to this specific fund.
