Dear pbskumar2006, Greetings.
Thank you very much for sharing the soft copy on Labour Laws. If you have any other similar soft copies, please do attach them. Thanks a lot once again.

Thank you very much for your efforts and kindness.

I need clarification under the Maternity Act. If an employee worked 80 days in the preceding months, she is eligible to get the maternity benefit as per the act.

1. Our company has not registered under ESI, PF, Gratuity, etc. In such a case, what do we have to do? (We are a private registration company, and our strength is only 50.)

2. Whether she is under probation or a contract, is she still eligible to receive it?

3. What do you mean by average salary?

4. In our company, our salary components are 40% Basic, 30% Conveyance, 30% HRA. There is Rs. 100/200 (less from basic) Educational Allowance. The calculation is based on salary fixation. For example, if the salary is Rs. 10,000, then it would be 3900, 3000, 3000, 100, respectively. Rs. 200 if it is above Rs. 10,000. In such a case, what is the average salary?

5. I came to know that a company can have its own policy or it can follow the Act. Is this true?

6. Some companies do not pay maternity benefits during the probation period. Is this right? (Especially if the salary is above Rs. 7500 and not under ESI).

Can anyone clarify the above points for me? I would be grateful to you all.

Hi PBS KUMAR,

Excellent work!! I completed my MLL&LW and found that the topics you listed are very relevant and useful. Though one topic is missing in the document (apart from the 133 or so labor laws) and that topic is the Shops and Establishment Act. This act differs from state to state, though the crux of this Act is almost the same. Anyways...good work...keep it up!!

Very useful for us. We have a subject called INDUSTRIAL LAW, for which your file is 100% useful. Thank you for posting.

Hello sir,

Thank you very much for such useful information. I am a student of MBA (HR+IT) in the final semester. In a few months, I will be an HR professional too. Sir, please advice me on how to crack the interview in an impressive manner.

Well, my dear youngsters,

Do you not feel the necessity of the knowledge and consequences of existing matrimonial/domestic criminal law?

Regards

Dear Dr,

Are Matrimonial & Domestic Criminal Laws included in Labour Laws? I want to know more about this. Will you post any article on this, please?

Regards,
PBS KUMAR

Dear All,

Some individuals are copying these enclosures, modifying their names, and posting the same article with different names. Why? "INNOVATION" is necessary for everyone. Therefore, develop alternative ways to enhance the existing methods. Unnecessarily reposting the same article and monitoring it for someone is not required. If I am mistaken, please advise me.

Dear Mr. Kumar,

Dear Sir,
Can you guide me on maintaining Salary and Muster records computerized? Is it okay or not? If permission is required from the Labour department, please guide me on the relevant Section.

Hi, I'm Sanjay. I have started a new BPO company with 20 employees in Hyderabad. My company is registered under the Partnership Act. I want to know whether I should take permission from Labor Law for employing candidates. If yes, then what are the procedures, rules, and regulations? I am also looking for payslips. I am paying them Rs 2500-3500. Should I include ESI, PF, etc., on the payslips?

Hi Mr. PBS Kumar,

Thank you. It's great that you guide so many HR juniors. It is informative for freshers as well as experienced individuals. Keep sharing more information and imparting your knowledge to those in need.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Kumar ji,

The post and the provided information are quite excellent and very useful to all. However, could you please clarify if you have attached 4 PDF files - Tips on labour laws 175, 859, 942, and 942? I noticed that all four files contain the same information but have different file names (numbers).

Regards, CRK

Dear PBS Kumar, it is commendable work on the effective compilation of several laws and best presentation. It is a handy form of law information that will be very simple to use for targeted issues. Instead of reading bulky books on several complicated laws, this type of submission will definitely help new HR professionals. Congratulations on the excellent work you have done!

Dear Mr. Kumar, your document was really helpful—short, simple, precise, and clarified many things. I was wondering if you could direct me in the right direction to find a summary of the Karnataka, Maharashtra, Haryana, and Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishment Act.

Dear Ramya Shankar, thank you very much for your efforts and kindness. I need a clarification regarding the Maternity Act. If an employee has worked for 80 days in the preceding months, she is eligible to receive maternity benefits as per the act.

Company Registration and Maternity Benefits

1. Our company is not registered under ESI, PF, Gratuity, etc., as we are a privately registered company with a staff of only 50. In such a case, what should we do?

2. Whether the employee is under probation or contract, she is still eligible to receive maternity benefits.

Understanding Average Salary

3. What is meant by average salary?

4. In our company, the salary components are 40% Basic, 30% Conveyance, 30% HRA. Additionally, there is Rs. 100/200 deducted from the basic salary for Education Allowance. The calculation is based on salary fixation. For example, if the salary is Rs. 10,000, the breakdown would be 3900, 3000, 3000, and 100 respectively. If the salary is above Rs. 10,000, Rs. 200 would be deducted. What would be the average salary in this scenario?

Maternity Act and PF Compliance

5. It is advisable to follow the Maternity Act for maternity benefits, but for PF, a Trust can be set up.

6. Some companies do not provide maternity benefits during the probation period, especially for salaries above Rs. 7500 not covered under ESI. Is this practice correct?

I would be grateful if someone could clarify the above points.

Regards,
Ramya Shankar

Are the rules still applicable? Is there any amendment? Kindly clarify.
