Understanding Key Labor Laws

I hope you are knowledgeable about the following laws:

1. Minimum Wages Act - Check the Minimum Wages Act of your state. In Delhi and Hyderabad, the Minimum Wages Act gets amended once every six months; in other states, it's once a year.
2. Bonus Act
3. Shops and Establishment Act - It covers some laws related to labor.

Subramanian

Dear Subramanian, this is for your information that the Minimum Wages Act is a Central Act and it does not get amended by the States at regular intervals. It seems that you are talking about the minimum rates of wages. The Shops and Establishment Act is a State Act. This Act also has nothing to do with the coverage of other labor laws. Submitted only for the sake of information.

Good to see your reply. If I am not mistaken, the Shops and Establishment Act of a particular state does cover some provisions related to labor. For example, the Shops and Establishment Act of 1954 for Delhi includes rules and provisions concerning leave, minimum rates of wages, working hours, etc.

Dear all,

This is for your information: where "ACT" is mentioned, it is subject to the central government, and where "RULES" are mentioned, they are subject to the state government.

Please read about the Industrial Dispute Act and Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act. These are very useful social legislations. A practitioner in the HR field should know about these.

Do you ever face any labor cases related to PF or ESI? If not, then you have very little knowledge; you only know the operational part of calculation. Being an HR professional, always remember that IR experience is vital for future career growth.

The Real Charm of HR

The real charm of HR is in a generic profile. Operational parts can be handled by anyone, but it's tough for even experts to handle IR problems. It's challenging and amazing. So, learn more, including case studies too.

Dear All,

HR is not just about knowledge of labor law and Act. To summarize briefly, for any working professional in any industry, it is an exercise in understanding the goals of the project and the role of the human element in achieving those goals.

Exploring HR and Labor Laws

HR encompasses a wide range of concepts, including various statutory laws, labor laws, and concepts related to recruitment, selection, payroll, compliance, etc. If you specifically want to learn about labor laws, I recommend purchasing a Labor & Industrial manual, which will greatly assist you in understanding the various labor laws. TDS, EPF, ESI, and PT are deductions made from income/salary and are just a small part of HR.

If you have information about these, then I suggest you focus on payrolls, as the aforementioned deductions fall under the payroll category.

Regards,

One thing I want to share is that there are more than 100 labor laws, so it is not possible to remember all of them. However, you should familiarize yourself with at least 10-12 labor laws that are in effect at your factory. Consult your seniors about the reports they submit to government authorities. Then, prioritize and go through them one by one.

Thank you.

Dear Member,

Please approach the labor law enforcement agency to take further necessary action in the matter.

Dear Sir,

On what basis is PF calculated for employees, whether on BASIC + DA or up to the limit of 6500? Is there any limit for PF calculation?
