Need Help with Analyzing Labor Law Definitions: Worker, Workmen, Employee, and Contract Labor?

Dear All,

We have been given an assignment to do a critical analysis of the definitions covered under different labor laws of this course: a) Worker b) Workmen c) Employee d) Contract Labor. Requesting your guidance on how this should be done.

Thanks in advance.

Items (a) to (c) generally refer to persons employed for wages or salary. Their connotations differ according to the purpose of the legislations in which they are used, and therefore, they are neither the same nor similar in meaning. Refer to the definitions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Factories Act, 1948, Employees Provident Fund Act, 1952, Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, your state's Shops and Establishments Act, and the Contract Labour (R&A) Act, 1970, and make a comparative analysis.
