Labor Laws For IT Manufacturing Firm

Hii frnds,
Can anyone help me to know, law which are applicable to a manufacturinf firm will be similar to that of which are applied to an IT manufacturing firm???

Hi
What do you mean by IT manufacturing?
The moment you say it is manufacturing, then Factories Act is applicable.
Whether it is manufacturing or not, PF and ESI are applicable
Payment of Gratuity is applicable
Then you also have minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages, Payment of Bonus, Industrial employment Standing Orders Act and Industrial Disputes Act are applicable

Hai Friend
Whenever if anything comes using electricity with 20 or more (If it is Manufacturing) it's comes under Factories Act. The following acts are applicable inclusive of Factories Act:-
PF ACT
ESIC ACT (If coverage is there)
Workmen Compensation Act ( IF ESIC IS NOT APPLICABLE)
Standing Order Act
Industrial Dispute Act of 1947 (If dispute arises)
Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) - If you are engaging Contractors and Contract Labours.
Subsistence Allowance Act
Gratuity Act
National & Festival Holidays Act
Maternity Act (If you are engaging Women)
Employment Exchange Act
Women Harrasment Act
Payment Of Wages Act
Payment of Bonus Act
Minimum Wages Act
Equal Remuneration Act
I think these are the main acts applicable for a Manufacturing Firm
Thanks & Regards

Hello !!!!
There are more than 20'Labour Laws' introduced by Govt and are applicable to different kinds of industries and commercial establishments all over India. None of these legislations make any 'Exemption' for I T industries. Therefore, undoubtedly all the 'Labour Laws' are applicable to all types of industries.
As you have mentioned rightly, the I T industry is also 'Manufacturing Industry'. However, there is NO conversion of 'raw material' to 'Finish product'. Therefore, whether 'The Factories Act 1948' could be made applicable to I T industry is a debatable question. Frankly speaking, it must be made applicable to I T industry, as it takes care of 'Safety, Health, Hygiene, Welfare' of employees. All other legislations are undoubtedly applicable to all sorts of Software industries.

Labour laws like ESI/EPF/LWF/P.tax/S& E Act/Apprentice ship act/etc remain the same irrespective of the IT factor. However, some IT acts may be applicable.
