Abstract	Introduction: In the contemporary global economy, there has been a significant shift in the structure of work and employment relationships, with a heightened focus on contract labour. This research explores the distinctive challenges and opportunities these workers face, shedding light on their essential role in the modern workforce. Objective: To Study the demographic profile of contract labours and understand the working conditions and work nature of contract labours. Methodology: A descriptive research design was conducted to examine work conditions in contract labor environments at L.N Oils Limited, Dharwad, in 2019 as part of a postgraduate dissertation. Purposive sampling selected 60 contract laborers. Data collection involved structured interviews and analysis of secondary sources such as research articles and reports to provide a comprehensive understanding of labor conditions. Findings: the prevalence of unskilled positions due to industrial needs, equitable treatment in payment, leave, and welfare between contract laborers and permanent workers, limited facilities for night shift contract workers, a substantial proportion engaged in overtime work, high job satisfaction among 75% of respondents, widespread ambiguity about promotion procedures, one-third experiencing discrimination, 70% enjoying positive work status, 80% content with safety measures, hygienic concerns for many, insufficient training opportunities, satisfaction with problem-solving strategies, positive personnel management relations, and an impressive 95% job satisfaction rate. Conclusion: Contract labor is widespread in various industries, including skilled and semi-skilled roles, notably in oil fields and services. Contract workers lack job security and face challenging working conditions, often in industrial settings.
