Curious About Labor Laws? Check Out This Handy Guide for All the Details

Hello friends,

Here are the labor laws if anyone wants to know about "labor laws." You can see them from the attachment I'm sending.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your message.

Who has prepared such a nice document?

The reply is fantastic.

It will be very useful; at a glance, you can have an overview of all laws.

Harshada

Dear Sandhya,

Great compilation indeed. All the relevant acts and provisions are very well presented. This information makes me want to know more about:

1. As per the provisions of CLRA, is the contract staffing (temping as in management jargon) business really legal in India?

2. If a Contract staffing company does not have 20 or more deputees with one client, but in total more than that, is it necessary to get registered under the act, and if yes, how without the client (i.e., principal employer) getting registered?

3. The now prevalent use of Contract employees' status as 'Associate,' does it save the temping company from any of the legal obligations?

4. As the contracting agreements/contracts are of yearly periodicity, can employment letters be issued as Coterminous (i.e., expiring automatically with the work contract)?

Hope my queries make any sense...

Gopal

Hi,

That is an excellent piece of work, competent, meticulous, and superbly presented. To be honest, I would like to see you doing more of this work and cover ALL Central and State (labour) laws AND perhaps you should also discuss in a separate paper/s the following:

Records/Registers/Returns and Penalties for various offences.

If you achieve this successfully, you will become no less than a practicing Labour Advocate. Industry will find your skill set very attractive - I mean those who wish to be legally compliant!

All the same, it will not be too much to expect further excellence from you!!

All the best.

Hi Sandya,

Great work done! You must have put in a lot of effort to draft it. Once again, thanks for providing the ready material. It is of great use.

Thanks,

Thanks for the file.

Need some clarifications - Which laws are applicable to employees working in the IT/ITES domain, viz. BPOs/KPOs? Legal opinion on the following policies -

1. All full-time employees are eligible for 30 days of paid leave accrued on a pro-rata basis. (No separate categories for holidays such as Privilege Leave, Casual Leave, Sick Leave, etc.). The employee is free to take it under whatever category.

2. The employees can encash their leave on voluntary severance only if they are confirmed and have completed 1 year tenure with the organization. (For example, if an employee's probation is extended beyond 6 months and if he were to leave in the 11th month in the organization without being confirmed, he would lose all his earned leave.)

Is policy no. 2 a contravention of labor laws?

Your counsel would be highly appreciated.

Hello Sandhya,

A meticulously compiled set of essential Labour Laws. It could further add to the value of this compilation if these legislations are brought under two major heads as follows:

(A) Acts covering "Conditions of Work"

(B) Social Security Legislations

Well done and keep it up.

With warm regards,
Ramesh Gautam

Dear,

It's just a suggestion, so take it positively. There are many changes required:

1. ESI limits already changed from 6500 to 10000 w.e.f. 01.10.2006.
2. PF limit increased from 6500 to 7500.
3. Minimum wages have also changed.
4. Some sections of the Payment of Wages Act have been deleted.
5. Apprenticeship Act - many changes have been made today.
6. ID Act - a few changes.

If you can make the changes, please do so; otherwise, wait and send me your email ID, and I will forward you the updates.

Thank you for the nice compilation of Labour Laws. However, it would be more colorful and authentic if the latest amendments were updated in the attachment. Certainly, there have been amendments in the ESI and EPF Act. I would be obliged if you could take note of them.

Thank you.

Very good work, Sandhaya.

One thing is missing in your document, i.e., damages charges for defaulting on payment of Provident Fund for more than six months. It is 37%.

Dear Sandya,

Thanks for your contribution!

I have seen this document 100 times, but there is one change every time: the document remains the same, but the author has been changing since!

:))

Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,

Do you know we have more than 300,000 books on laws, and for one act, I think for one statute, there must be more than 10 authors. However, we need to see the presentation and efforts of the individual. Even policies and guidelines framed by any person(s) in this world, you will find similarity in works or in the same framework. The difference is the approach of an individual; we must appreciate the approach and not criticize.

Sandhya's work is appreciable on one account: she has shared her work.

Thanks and Regards,
Arun K. Mishra

Dear Mr. Arun Kr Mishra,

It's not about appreciating and criticizing people; it's about reading the same article with the same attachment.

I too know there are 1 billion books on laws, and laws remain the same. But what's the use of copying and pasting others' articles in one's name?

I had seen the same article in the same format and same page numbers, in the same design with common spelling mistakes, with the same box size, with the same font size, same formatting, and it's 100% photocopy material of an article that has been floating in Cite HR months back.

Every human being should appreciate this type of good work. But as I have appreciated someone else a few months back for the same good work and see someone without taking the pain to even rectify the spelling mistakes and copying and pasting the same hard work of someone else in his/her own name...

What's the use of ...@#%$?

This forum is to share one's knowledge and good work. PLEASE, FOR GOD'S SAKE, keep this forum FREE FROM FANTASIES, FRAUDS, COPY PASTES, TRYING TO GET CREDIT OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK!!!

Get out of this garbage because no one here recognizes you, and by doing this type of crap, one only spoils the image.

LET CITE HR BE FOR WHAT IT'S BEEN.

Hello Sandhya,

It was your nice work to compliment without any hesitation. I've downloaded it for my future reference. In addition to that, could you please clarify briefly what are the legal liabilities of any organization(s) which, though meets all the due statutory provisions of ESI, EPF, and the Payment of Gratuity Act, fails to comply with the necessary statutory requirements? What are the penal provisions under the above Acts? I hope you won't mind me disturbing your time and again to seek clarification on any topic. Thank you and I hope to receive a reply from you regarding the above.

Hi Meghamadhulika,

Hi, could anybody give me apt advice regarding the issue? I'm working as an HR executive in a construction company. Quite recently, I joined the organization, clearly saying I'm a one-month-old baby to the organization. Now, the problem is we are doing a project with GE Infrastructure. Our company does not fall under any act; we are registered under the Shop and Establishment Act. At the time of the agreement with GE, we agreed that we would get registered under ESI, but our workforce is less than 20. If we do not get an ESI number, GE will not release the payments to our company. Is there any clause through which we can escape from getting registered? Please send your valuable suggestions urgently; we have only one day's time. Thank you. Sirisha.

Hi Sandya,

Thank you for your assistance. I am currently working as an HR coordinator in a multinational company. My education background includes an MBA and an LLB. If you need information on any labor laws, I usually have to refer to various legal books. However, your attachment has been very useful to me and others. Once again, thank you.

Hey Sandhya,

It's a fantastic compilation. I used to hate reading all the laws, but I guess you have made it very easy for me and many others! Thank you a ton for the generous contribution!

Dear Sandhya,

Dear Sir,

I would suggest that every three to six months or annually, the entire presentations be copied onto one DVD and made available for sale at just the cost of the DVD and postal charges for the benefit of all CiteHR members.

Hello Sandhya,

You don't know how much favor you have done for me through this PPT. Loads of thanks...

Labour laws have been a tough subject for me this semester. I hope things will be easier henceforth. Thanks a lot.

Dear Mr. Abhishek Arun,

How can you say it is copy-pasting? This is my own creation. I dedicated my time to preparing it. And now, please tell me, why are you feeling jealous? 😱

Thank you.

Sandhya,

Can you help me dig out labor laws applicable for IT/MNC Offshore Development Centres?

I need an employee to know his/her rights against termination of service or being asked to go. Also, the compensation that he/she can seek in case the grounds provided are insufficient or a fake case can be made to ensure departure (arm wrestle).

Thanks,
Rita

Hi friends,

I am looking for labor laws applicable to service sector companies in London, New York, and Texas. Can someone help, please?

Hi Sandhya,

I saw your Labour Laws Material. It's really good, but there are some acts omitted. For example, the Shops & Establishment Act, Contract Labour Act, Provident Fund Act, State Insurance Act, etc. These are the basic acts applicable to most organizations. Your material does not provide details about the above-mentioned acts. I suggest including the above acts and more in your material.

Regards,

Dear Sandhya,

I am working with ESI Corporation. Your efforts are commendable, and I am finding no words to praise you. But in the applicability of the Act, you should replace the amount of Rs. 7,500.00 with Rs. 10,000.00 w.e.f. 1.10.06 and Rs. 25,000.00 in respect of disabled employees.

In case of further queries, write to [Login to view].

ALL THE BEST...

Dear Sir/Madam,

We have started a labor law consultancy, and we are now receiving clients. We need to obtain offer letters from our clients, but we currently do not have a standard format for the offer letter. Could you kindly assist us by providing a template for the offer letter?

Thank you for your help.

Sincerely

Hi,

Thank you, Sandhya, for your help. These documents are wonderful. I need your help with one thing. I am an HR professional working in Mumbai. I want to pursue a diploma in Labour Laws to enhance my knowledge and qualifications. However, I am unable to commit to a regular course due to time constraints. Can you suggest a good university that offers such courses in distance learning mode? Also, could you advise me on how to apply for it?

Dear Sandhya,

Please do not engage in these kinds of actions in the future. Taking credit for the hard work of others is absolutely unethical, and as an HR professional, you should be the first to refrain from such behavior. Simply replacing PBS Kumar's name (the original presenter of the presentation) with yours will not lead you anywhere. Those who have credited you for this are mistaken, but that does not make you great in any way.

I hope you will realize.

Regards

Hi Sandhya,

Regarding the labor laws, thanks a lot. Your hard work in compiling many acts and presenting them perfectly is highly appreciated. It will be very useful. Well done and thanks once again.

Some more quick pointers on certain labor laws, mainly bonus, gratuity, PF, ESIC, and a few more acts...

Hi Sandhya,

I appreciate the great efforts you took to scan and convert the first few pages of the "Free HR Diary" usually provided with a subscription to Labour Law Journal.

Kishore
