Hello Everyone, my name is Satish. I am from Kolkata. I recently joined a company based in Chennai, which has its office and manufacturing unit in different locations in Chennai. Could anyone provide me with a checklist of statutory compliance that falls under labor law to be complied with in Chennai?

Hello Satish,
In Chennai, like the rest of India, there are several major labor laws and statutes that a company needs to comply with. Here is a general checklist:
1. Factories Act, 1948: This act is applicable if your company's manufacturing unit employs 10 or more workers. It covers aspects like health, safety, welfare, working hours, leave, and other benefits.
2. Shops and Commercial Establishments Act: This act governs the working conditions and rights of workers in shops and commercial establishments. It includes rules on working hours, rest intervals, overtime, holidays, leave, etc.
3. Minimum Wages Act, 1948: This act ensures that workers get a minimum wage set by the government.
4. Payment of Wages Act, 1936: This act regulates the payment of wages to certain classes of employed persons. It ensures that employees receive wages without any unauthorized deductions and on time.
5. Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952: This act provides for the institution of provident funds, pension fund, and deposit-linked insurance fund for employees in factories and other establishments.
6. Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948: This act is designed to provide certain benefits to employees in case of sickness, maternity, and employment injury.
7. Payment of Bonus Act, 1965: This act imposes a statutory obligation upon the employer of every establishment covered under the Act to pay a bonus to their employees.
8. Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972: This act provides for a scheme for the payment of gratuity to employees engaged in factories, mines, oilfields, plantations, ports, railway companies, shops, or other establishments.
9. Maternity Benefit Act, 1961: This act regulates the employment of women in certain establishments for certain periods before and after childbirth and provides for maternity and other benefits.
10. Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970: This act applies to every establishment in which 20 or more workmen are employed or were employed on any day of the preceding 12 months as contract labor.
11. Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013: This act provides protection against sexual harassment of women at the workplace and for the prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment.
Please note that this is a general checklist, and the applicability may vary based on the specifics of your organization. I strongly recommend consulting with a legal expert or labor law consultant to ensure complete and accurate compliance.
