Labour Law in India
Labour Law in India

The history of labour legislation in India is naturally interwoven with the history of British colonialism. Considerations of British political economy were naturally paramount in shaping some of these early laws. In the beginning it was difficult to get enough regular Indian workers to run British establishments and hence laws for indenturing workers became necessary. This was obviously labour legislation in order to protect the interests of British employers.Then came the Factories Act. It is well known that Indian textile goods offered stiff competition to British textiles in the export market and hence in order to make India labour costlier the Factories Act was first introduced in 1883 because of the pressure brought on the British parliament by the textile magnates of Manchester and Lancashire. Thus we received the first stipulation of eight hours of work, the abolition of child labour, and the restriction of women in night employment, and the introduction of overtime wages for work beyond eight hours. While the impact of this measure was clearly welfarist the real motivation was undoubtedly protectionist!To date, India has ratified 39 International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions of which 37 are in force. Of the ILO’s eight fundamental conventions, India has ratified four – Forced Labour 1930, Abolition of Forced Labour 1957, Equal Remuneration 1951, and Discrimination (employment and occupation) 1958.

 
The organised and the unorganised
An important distinction that is popularly made nowadays in all discussions relating to labour legislation is between workers in the organised/formal sector and those in the informal/informal sector. Many who make this distinction do so with ulterior motives, yet we must reckon with it – especially because out of the total workforce in the country, 92 percent work in the informal sector while only eight percent work in the formal sector.
At the outset it must therefore be remembered that those who were unorganised yesterday are organised today and those who are unorganised today aspire to become the organised tomorrow. Moreover, many rights, benefits, and practices, which are popularly recognised today as legitimate rights of the workers, are those that have accrued as a result of the struggles carried out by the earlier generation of workers. The attempt, prevalent in some circles to pit one section of workers against the others, must therefore be carefully understood and deserves to be rejected outright.
 
Trade unionism and the Trade Union Act 1926
There are almost ten major central union organisations of workers based on different political ideologies. Almost every union is affiliated to one of these. These central organisations have state branches, committees, and councils from where its organisation works down to the local level.
The first central trade union organisation in India was the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) in 1920 – almost three decades before India won independence. At about the same time workers at the Buckingham and Carnatic Mills, Madras went on strike led by B P Wadia. The management brought a civil suit against the workers in the Madras High Court and not only obtained an injunction order against the strike but also succeeded in obtaining damages against the leader for ‘inducing a breach of contract’. This was followed by widespread protests that finally yielded in the Trade Union Act 1926 giving immunity to the trade unions against certain forms of civil and criminal action. Apart from this aspect the Trade Union Act also facilitated registration, internal democracy, a role for outsiders and permission for raising a political fund subject to separate accounting requirements.The Trade Union Act facilitates unionisation both in the organised and the unorganised sectors. It is through this law that the freedom of association that is a fundamental right under the Constitution of India is realised.
The right to register a trade union however does not mean that the employer must recognise the union – there is in fact no law which provides for recognition of trade unions and consequently no legal compulsion for employers, even in the organised sector, to enter into collective bargaining.
Yet in reality because of the strength of particular trade unions there is fairly widespread collective bargaining, especially in the organised sector.
 
Wage determination in the un organised sector
Wage determination in India has been achieved by various instruments. For the unorganised sector the most useful instrument is the Minimum Wages Act 1948. This law governs the methods to fix minimum wages in scheduled industries (which may vary from state to state) by using either a committee method or a notification method. A tripartite Advisory Committee with an independent Chairman advises the Government on the minimum wage. In practice unfortunately, the minimum wage is so low that in many industries there is erosion of real wage despite revision of the minimum wage occasionally. A feeble indexation system has now been introduced in a few states only.
Collective bargaining in the organised sector
An important factor that is not much recognised, but which still prevails in many organised sector units is fixing and revising wages through collective bargaining. The course of collective bargaining was influenced in 1948 by the recommendations of the Fair Wage Committee that reported that three levels of wages exist – minimum, fair, and living.These three wage levels were defined and it was pointed out that all industries must pay the minimum wage and that the capacity to pay would apply only to the fair wage, which could be linked to productivity. In addition to this the fifteenth Indian Labour Conference, a tripartite body, met in 1954 and defined precisely what the needs-based minimum wage was and how it could be quantified using a balanced diet chart. This gave a great boost to collective bargaining; many organised sector trade unions were able to achieve reasonably satisfactory indexation and a system of paying an annual bonus. It is now the law, that a thirteenth month of wage must be paid as a deferred wage to all those covered by the Payment of Bonus Act. The minimum bonus payable is 8.33 percent and the maximum is 20 percent of the annual wage.Strikes and lockouts
Workers have the right to strike, even without notice unless it involves a public utility service; employers have the right to lockout, subject to the same conditions as a strike. The parties may sort out their differences either bilaterally, or through a conciliation officer who can facilitate but not compel a settlement which is legally binding on the parties, even when a strike or a lockout is in progress. But if these methods do not resolve a dispute, the government may refer the dispute to compulsory adjudication and ban the strike or lockout.
 
Conciliation, arbitration, and adjudication
When parties engaging in collective bargaining are unable to arrive at a settlement, either party or the government may commence conciliation proceedings before a government appointed conciliation officer whose intervention may produce a settlement, which is then registered in the labour department and becomes binding on all parties. If conciliation fails it is open to the parties to invoke arbitration or for the appropriate government to refer the dispute to adjudication before a labour court or a tribunal whose decision may then be notified as an award of a binding nature on the parties. Disputes may be settled by collective bargaining, conciliation, or compulsory adjudication.
 
Colonial dispute settlement machinery
The Industrial Disputes Act 1947 (IDA) provides for the settlement machinery above. The framework of this legislation, which is the principle legislation dealing with core labour issues, is of colonial origin. This law originated firstly in the Trade Disputes Act 1929, introduced by the British, when there was a spate of strikes and huge loss of person days and secondly through Rule 81A of the Defence of India Rules 1942, when the British joined the war efforts and wanted to maintain wartime supplies to the allied forces. Interestingly the interim government on the eve of formal independence retained this framework by enacting the IDA, which still remains on the statute book.
 
Developments after independence
Even though the IDA was primarily meant for industry in the organised sector, its present application has now extended well into the unorganised sector, through judge-made law. Its pro-worker protection clauses and safeguards against arbitrary job losses have evolved over a period of time both through the process of sustained legislative amendments and through the process of judicial activism spread over more than five decades.
The original colonial legislation underwent substantial modification in the post-colonial era because independent India called for a clear partnership between labour and capital. The content of this partnership was unanimously approved in a tripartite conference in December 1947 in which it was agreed that labour would be given a fair wage and fair working conditions and in return capital would receive the fullest co-operation of labour for uninterrupted production and higher productivity as part of the strategy for national economic development and that all concerned would observe a truce period of three years free from strikes and lockouts.
 
Regulation of job losses
Space does not allow a detailed discussion of this transformation in labour policy and consequent amendments to labour law, but provisions that deal with job losses must be noted. Under the present law any industrial establishment employing more than 100 workers must make an application to the Government seeking permission before resorting to lay-off, retrenchment, or closure; employers resorting to any of the said forms of creating job losses, is acting illegally and workers are entitled to receive wages for the period of illegality. The Reserve Bank of India commissioned a study into the causes of sickness in Indian industry and they reported cryptically, ‘Sickness in India is a profitable business’. This chapter in the IDA, which has been identified as offering high rigidity in the area of labour redundancy, has been targeted for change under globalisation and liberalisation.
 
Protection of service conditions
A feature of the IDA is the stipulation that existing service conditions cannot be unilaterally altered without giving a notice of 21 days to the workers and the union. Similarly if an industrial dispute is pending before an authority under the IDA, then the previous service conditions in respect of that dispute cannot be altered to the disadvantage of the workers without prior permission of the authority concerned. This has been identified as a form of rigidity that hampers competition in the era of the World Trade Organisation.
 
Removal from service
A permanent worker can be removed from service only for proven misconduct or for habitual absence – due to ill health, alcoholism and the like, or on attaining retirement age. In other words the doctrine of ‘hire and fire’ is not approved within the existing legal framework. In cases of misconduct the worker is entitled to the protection of Standing Orders to be framed by a certifying officer of the labour department after hearing management and labour, through the trade union. Employers must follow principles of ‘natural justice’, which again is an area that is governed by judge-made law. An order of dismissal can be challenged in the labour court and if it is found to be flawed, the court has the power to order reinstatement with continuity of service, back wages, and consequential benefits. This again is identified as an area where greater flexibility is considered desirable for being competitive.
 
 
Almost all pro-worker developments that accrued since independence are now identified as areas of rigidity and in the name of flexibility there is pressure on the government of India to repeal or amend all such laws. Interestingly, if such a proposal is fully implemented, labour law, especially for the organised sector, will go back to the colonial framework where state intervention was meant primarily to discipline labour, not to give it protection.
GlobalisationThe most distinctly visible change from globalisation is the increased tendency for offloading or subcontracting. Generally this is done through the use of cheaper forms of contract labour, where there is no unionisation, no welfare benefits, and quite often not even statutorily fixed minimum wages. Occasionally the tendency to bring contract labour to the mother plant itself is seen. This is very often preceded by downsizing, and since there is statutory regulation of job losses, the system of voluntary retirement with the ‘golden handshake’ is widely prevalent, both in public and private sectors.
Regulation of contract labour
The Contract Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1970 provides a mechanism for registration of contractors (if more than twenty workers are engaged) and for the appointment of a Tripartite Advisory Board that investigates particular forms of contract labour, which if found to be engaged in areas requiring perennial work connected with the production process, then the Board could recommend its abolition. A tricky legal question has arisen as to whether the contract workers should be automatically absorbed or not after the contract labour system is abolished. Recently a Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court held that there need not be such automatic absorption – in effect this ‘abolishes’ the contract labourer and has given rise to a serious anomaly.
 
Phase between organised and unorganised
We are already witnessing a reduction in the organised labour force and an increase in the ranks of the unorganised. The above law is a kind of inter-phase in the process of regulating the transition from regular employment to irregular employment. If contract labour is seen as introducing a form of flexibility, a strict enforcement of this Act could have had a salutary effect on the transition process. Instead the enforceability of the Act is now diluted and consequently even the minimum protection envisaged under this law to contract labourers is in jeopardy. Dominant thinking in relation to globalisation is having its effect on the judicial process also, ignoring Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of India.
 
Employment injury, health, and maternity benefit
The Workman’s Compensation Act 1923 is one of the earliest pieces of labour legislation. It covers all cases of ‘accident arising out of and in the course of employment’ and the rate of compensation to be paid in a lump sum, is determined by a schedule proportionate to the extent of injury and the loss of earning capacity. The younger the worker and the higher the wage, the greater is the compensation subject to a limit. The injured person, or in case of death the dependent, can claim the compensation. This law applies to the unorganised sectors and to those in the organised sectors who are not covered by the Employees State Insurance Scheme, which is conceptually considered to be superior to the Workman’s Compensation Act.The Employees State Insurance Act provides a scheme under which the employer and the employee must contribute a certain percentage of the monthly wage to the Insurance Corporation that runs dispensaries and hospitals in working class localities. It facilitates both outpatient and in-patient care and freely dispenses medicines and covers hospitalisation needs and costs. Leave certificates for health reasons are forwarded to the employer who is obliged to honour them. Employment injury, including occupational disease is compensated according to a schedule of rates proportionate to the extent of injury and loss of earning capacity. Payment, unlike in the Workmen’s Compensation Act, is monthly. Despite the existence of tripartite bodies to supervise the running of the scheme, the entire project has fallen into disrepute due to corruption and inefficiency. Workers in need of genuine medical attention rarely approach this facility though they use it quite liberally to obtain medical leave. There are interesting cases where workers have gone to court seeking exemption from the scheme in order to avail of better facilities available through collective bargaining.The Maternity Benefit Act is applicable to notified establishments. Its coverage can therefore extend to the unorganised sector also, though in practice it is rare. A woman employee is entitled to 90 days of paid leave on delivery or on miscarriage. Similar benefits, including hospitalisation facilities are available under the law described in the paragraph above.
Retirement benefit
There are two types of retirement benefit generally available to workers. One is under the Payment of Gratuity Act and the other is under the Provident Fund Act. In the first case a worker who has put in not less than five years of work is entitled to a lump sum payment equal to 15 days’ wages for every completed year of service. Every month the employer is expected to contribute the required money into a separate fund to enable this payment on retirement or termination of employment. In the latter scheme both the employee and the employer make an equal contribution into a national fund. The current rate of contribution is 12 percent of the wage including a small percentage towards family pension. This contribution also attracts an interest, currently 9.5 percent per annum, and the accumulated amount is paid on retirement to the employee along with the interest that has accrued. Unfortunately the employee is allowed to draw many types of loan from the fund such as for house construction, marriage of children, and education etc. As a result very little is available at the time of retirement. This is also a benefit, which is steadily being extended to sections of the unorganised sector, especially where the employer is clearly identifiable.
Women labour and the law
Women constitute a significant part of the workforce in India but they lag behind men in terms of work participation and quality of employment. According to Government sources, out of 407 million total workforce, 90 million are women workers, largely employed (about 87 percent) in the agricultural sector as labourers and cultivators. In urban areas, the employment of women in the organised sector in March 2000 constituted 17.6 percent of the total organised sector.Apart from the Maternity Benefit Act, almost all the major central labour laws are applicable to women workers. The Equal Remuneration Act was passed in 1976, providing for the payment of equal remuneration to men and women workers for same or similar nature of work. Under this law, no discrimination is permissible in recruitment and service conditions except where employment of women is prohibited or restricted by the law. The situation regarding enforcement of the provisions of this law is regularly monitored by the Central Ministry of Labour and the Central Advisory Committee. In respect of an occupational hazard concerning the safety of women at workplaces, in 1997 the Supreme Court of India announced that sexual harassment of working women amounts to violation of rights of gender equality. As a logical consequence it also amounts to violation of the right to practice any profession, occupation, and trade. The judgment also laid down the definition of sexual harassment, the preventive steps, the complaint mechanism, and the need for creating awareness of the rights of women workers. Implementation of these guidelines has already begun by employers by amending the rules under the Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act 1946.Implementation of labour laws
The Ministry of Labour has the responsibility to protect and safeguard the interests of workers in general and those constituting the deprived and the marginal classes of society in particular with regard to the creation of a healthy work environment for higher production and productivity. The Ministry seeks to achieve this objective through enacting and implementing labour laws regulating the terms and conditions of service and employment of workers. In 1966, the Ministry appointed the First National Labour Commission (NLC) to review the changes in the conditions of labour since independence and also to review and assess the working of the existing legal provisions. The NLC submitted its report in 1969. The important recommendations of NLC have been implemented through amendments of various labour laws. In the areas of wage policy, minimum wages, employment service, vocational training, and worker’s education, the recommendations made by the NLC have been largely taken into account in modifying policies, processes, and programmes of the government. In order to ensure consistency between labour laws and changes in economic policy, and to provide greater welfare for the working class, the Second NLC was constituted in 1999.All labour laws provide for an inspectorate to supervise implementation and also have penalties ranging from imprisonment to fines. Cases of non-implementation need to be specifically identified and complaints filed before magistrates after obtaining permission to file the complaint from one authority or the other. Very few cases are filed, very rarely is any violator found guilty, and almost never will an employer be sent to prison. Consequently these powers are used by corrupt officials only for collecting money from employers.
This does not however mean that no labour laws are implemented. On the contrary experience has proved that the implementation of such laws is directly proportional to the extent of unionisation. This generalisation is particularly true of the informal sector.
The unorganised sector
Many of the laws mentioned above apply to the unorganised sector also. In some cases a separate notification may be necessary to extend the application of a particular law to a new sector. It is useful to notice that some pieces of legislation are more general in character and apply across the board to all sectors. The Trade Union Act 1926, The Minimum Wages Act 1948, The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, The Workman’s Compensation Act 1923, and The Payment of Wages Act 1936 are examples of this type. In certain cases, even the IDA 1947 would be included.In addition to the above there are special sectoral laws applicable to particular sectors of the unorganised. Under this category are laws like the Building and Construction Workers Act 1996, the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act 1976, The Interstate Migrant Workers Act 1979, The Dock Workers Act 1986, The Plantation Labour Act 1951, The Transport Workers Act, The Beedi and Cigar Workers Act 1966, The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act 1986, and The Mine Act 1952.Broadly speaking these sectoral laws either abolish or prohibit an abominable practice like bonded labour or they seek to regulate exploitative conditions by regulating working hours and conditions of service.
A recent trend has been to seek the creation of a welfare fund through the collection of a levy from which medical benefits or pension provisions are made. Workers and management may contribute and attempt to set up tripartite boards for implementation of welfare benefits. In some states like Kerala a large number of such boards have already been set up to take care of welfare in different sectors of employment.Another contemporary effort is to provide an umbrella statute to take care of employment conditions and social welfare benefits for all unorganised sections. Common central legislation for all agricultural workers is also on the anvil. Many powers are vested in quasi-judicial authorities, labour courts, and magistrates’ courts. The power of review is in the High Courts and finally in the Supreme Court.The general experience, with the occasional exception, is unbearable delay. Even where statutes prescribe reasonable time limits, they are not adhered to. Frustration with labour-related justice is heightened by these unlimited delays. A case of dismissal takes almost ten years for the labour court to decide and if the parties decide to seek judicial review in the higher courts there can be unlimited delay.

For the unorganised sector a renewed attempt to focus on the core labour standard identified by the ILO in its Declaration on Fundamental Rights at Work would still be worthwhile, especially if we take steps to ensure the implementation of the first of those core labour standards namely the freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining. It is only through the organisation of potential beneficiaries that we can hope for some benefits at least to percolate down into the hands of the needy.

  20. Hello all.
    I joined a placement agency as an Account Assistant on 03/10/2015. HR Manager gave me appointment letter on 13/10/2015 via email wherein my CTC was annually ₹ 162000/-. Thankfully i forwarded same to my email id. The salary cycle in that company is from 21st to 20th of next month. Being a heart patient, i requested HR Manager to hike some salary so that i can meet up my costly medicine exp every month as i am Heart Patient as well. Then she agreed and promised me that on the same payscale, i will be paid as Consultant from their sister concern/subsidiary company also.
    I worked for a month around, during which i came to know that the work wasnt as per my job profile as i am qualified Inter CA.
    On 06/11/2015, i asked HR manager why i am given work of Admin/Office Boy only and not allowed to touch even accounts, then she angrily asked me to leave the premises and terminated me without prior notice, without ANY REASON. Plz note, i had worked sincerely during the period and i was kept away from Acccounts. I was never introduced to the Directors for whom i was appointed.. Getting disappointed, i left from the office. After an hour she called me back and gave cheque of ₹ 10669/- only and took my sign of receipt as Consultant in their subsidiary company letter head.
    Next day i went to meet the directors for knowing the reason of sudden termination without any valid reason and also for having salary as per appointment letter of Parent Company, but the Operations Manager and HR Manager had already hired bouncers who stopped me to enter the premises. One of them hit on my left chest. During this fight, both managers (ladies) were abusing me badly. I had to dial 100 and call the police.
    Police arrived and knew the whole matter. I was taken to police station in the Van and also the police called both the Operation Manager and HR Manager with the directors. Directors didnt come. But the managers came very late on several calls by police. They tried to prove that i was unnecessarily demanding the salary. Police asked for compromise and said this is the labour court matter, police cant help except the compromise.
    I have studied the labour laws like IDA, Payment of wages Act, Companies Act 2013, Indian Contract Act 1872, during my academics. And as per the provisions, i am entitled to receive one month salary as compensation plus salary from Parent company as per appointment letter since i was terminated without any prior notice and strong reason. The Company is denying to pay even a single penny.
    I have applied in the Jurisdictional Labour Court against the company.
    Now please guide me, whether i am really entitled to receive the compensation AND one month salary as of Account Assistant and that of Consultant also after deducting the payment they made to me??? Please gguide me appropriately.

    Today I had a meeting with our HR and we have discussed on some point. As per the discussion they have given me in written ” Discussed that in absence of closure of project, no relieving will be done & no documents will be given.”
    So my question is.
    – Is this possible after serving notice period I will not get all required documents?
    – Project closure will take more than 6 months so is there I need to stay till closing of the project?

    Please help me to solve this problem.

    Thanks & Regards
    Vinay

    अकाउंट की जानकारी से. मैंने अपने अकाउंट की इनफार्मेशन के लिए ३ जुलाई को RTI भी जमा करी.

    लेकिन उन्होंने जवाब देने से साफ़ मना कर दिया। सर मेरे अकाउंट की जानकारी निकलवाए आपको

  34. I was working in the telecom company bharti airtel ltd for the period
    april 2007-may 2014. I had joined the company in gujarat as senior
    executive-sales. Due to some family reasons I asked for transfer in
    2009 and return to bihar, home state where I was working for
    sepetember 2009 to may 2014. Due to transfer & posting I have not get
    timely promotion in the company. As company’s rule any employee can be
    eligible for next level promotion after 18 months working according to
    performance & recommendation by seniors. But, I have got first
    promotion after 4 years working in the company. Now due to timely
    structural changes in the company, company has make some eligibility
    criteria for every position in the hierarchy position. In which for
    manager position it has made criteria for under the age of 36 years. I
    was make assistant manager at the age of 35 years, so it was not
    possible to become manager in next 1 year. In the meanwhile company
    has transfered me from home town patna to a remote district gopalganj
    for getting exposure & experience of working in different environment.
    I was working their for the period july 2012-may 2014. In the
    meanwhile during working I met road accident in the end of october
    2012 & i faced knee surgery by which i have taken bed rest leave for
    november 2012-feb 2013. After working for 6 month in the company, at
    the end of october month, seniors has asked to me that company is
    judging my performance they will checked my performance till december
    end. They have given me few task, in which it was asked to me that
    minimum 50% is eligibility criteria. I have completed all task within
    the time frame. As my performance is exceeded during that period. It
    can be understand through variable quarterly pay out structure. For
    that period I have got more than 100% incentive. But after 2 months HR
    person has asked to me that my task has not completed & i have to
    leave the company after next two months. They put exit process through
    system & informed me last working day after two month.
    In such situation I become jobless and tried to get a job in other
    company. But for telecom industry for assistant manager age criteria
    has fixed at less than 35 years & also for idea & vodafone I can’t get
    job their due to antipoaching rule. Out of telecom industry, I have
    not work experience and also their is some age barriers of 35 years
    for the same profile position.
    During separation from bharti airtel, company has not given me any
    separation/retrenchment incentive. I had asked it through mail but
    they have denied for any incentive claim as according to them they
    have removed me on performance issue. Its clear indication that it was
    not performance parameter.

    In such situation, I need your help that what justice I can get. Am I
    eligible for any incentive from company or not. Should I have ask the
    same thing to the company or not? It was not proper removal for me.
    After working for 7 years without any timely elevation or special
    training in the career how can company can remove without discussing
    or providing any separation package against serving years for getting
    help in finding or waiting for new job.

    • Amit Ranjan,

      This is indeed a great injustice. You met into accident and constrained to take rest for few months and thereafter you got 100% incentive is valid proof of your performance. Asking you to resign or threatening to terminate is un-fare business practice. Tell me have submitted resignation Or services are terminated? WRite back, I shall advise you.

  49. I am Tripti Bajaj. I am from Delhi and was working with an IT company. I had been working there since last 1 year but left the organization recently. I sent a formal resignation mail to my manager and the higher management and also got the acceptance of it. But in between I got an better opportunity and left the company without serving the notice period. I requested my Head HR to give me my relieving as early as possible as I am ready to buy it out. The HR head told me that we don’t have any option to buy out the notice period. It’s been 3 months since I resigned from the company and when I asked again about my relieving they still have the same answer. I need help regarding this issue. What can I do in that case. I have my formal resignation mail and acceptance mail with me. Please suggest the best possible way to get out of this issue. It would be a great help. Below are the terms & conditions mentioned in my appointment letter.

    Your employment during probation may be terminated immediately upon the company giving you notice thereof; however post confirmation notice period shall be 3 months or company may in its sole discretion, terminate your employment immediately by paying you basic monthly salary in lieu of giving you such notice.
    You may terminate your employment(during probation or thereafter) by giving the company three months prior written notice, after completion of any service continuity obligation, as applicable. Any leave from duty during notice period, period would result in corresponding extension beyond the stipulated 3 months period. The company reserves the right to accept your resignation with effect from such date as it may deem fit even before the expiry of the notice period. In that event the company may relieve you from duties without payment of any compensation for the unexpired notice period, after paying your dues up to the date of your separation.

    Upon termination or expiration of your employment, for any reason, company shall be entitled to, as it sole discretion, pursue any remedy available in law or in contract to ensure settlement of any amounts owed by you hereunder, including costs and expenses incurred toward your training. Further, company shall be entitled to, as its sole discretion, to withhold the relieving letter and all other documents regarding your employment hereunder, till settlements of accounts. Any delayed payment by you would entail interest at 15% p.a.

    The three months are over now. I resigned in September, 2013 and now it’s December. I asked for early relieving but the company did not let me do this. Is there any law in Indian Labor Law or Company Law which allows company to hold back the relieving letter of an employee even if the notice period has already been ended?? Please help me out. I’d really appreciate your help.
    Looking forward to a positive reply.

  56. Hi people, here is a Company called Shore Infotech in Hyderabad.
    A worst company you have never seen, this company has policies which frustrate you,
    on 5th of month u will get salary, one LOP two days salary cut, two months notice period, u will not get any salary in notice period and u will get that after 3 months. No bonus no other perks. only salary.
    where can we complaint this to get rid?

    • yes you can claim equal remuneration in a private company. equal pay for equal work is between “all” employees. you can contact your local labour commissioner office and file your complaint there or go directly to the Labour court anf file a complaint. and you can do it on your own too and do need a LAWYER necessarily.

  60. Dear sir,
    I am Dheeraj Barshilia. Main HDFC bank ke ek third party company(H.B.L. Global Private Limited) main T.S.E. tha. Maine waha 6 month kaam kiya. En 6 mahino main mere khilaf koi bhi complaint nahi aai thi customer ki side se. 11 june 2013 ko mujhe HDFC bank ke risk office main bulaya jaata hai, wahan (Amit sahani) ne mere sath pahle normaly poocha or kuch bbaton ko accept karne par jor dala, mere mana karne par mujhe dusre cabin main le jaya gaya or waha mujhse unke head(Tushar) ne question pooche. wahan par bhi mana karne par police ki dhamki di gayi, gandi gandi gaaliyan di gayi jinko main yahan par likh nahi sakta hoon. wahan par mujhe maara gaya or mera collar bhi pakda gaya.
    Agar dusre shabdo main kahu to wahan par meri jaan main ban aayi thi mere blood pressure gir gaya us condition main bhi un logo ne pahle mujhe wo saari cheejen likhne ko kaha jo maine nahi kiya tha. Apni jaan bachane ke liye maine wo sab likha jo maine nahi kiya tha. Uske baad en logo ne mujhe paani diya. Mujhse poore 3-4 ghante pressure main rakha gaya tha. Uske baad mujhe first warning deke wahan se jane ke liye kah diya gaya.
    13-06-2013 ko mujhe mere R.S.M.(Gaurav Saxena) ne bina kisi notice ke ye kah ke nikal diya ki humne aapko terminate kar diya hai, lekin mujhe koi bhi written main proof nahi diya gaya. Jab maine R.S.M. se written main dene ko kaha unhone mujhe saaf saaf mana kar diya. 24-06-2013 ko maine Z.S.M (Shuchi Mahajan) ko mail ki tab mujhe mere S.M. se pata chala ki mujhe suspend kiya gaya hai. R.S.M ne mujhe kahan ki 1-07-2013 ko aapki poori salary or aapka incentive aapke account main credit ho jayega. 3-07-2013 ko bhi jab meri salary nahi aai to mere poochne par mujhe bataya jata hai ki aapki salary hold main daal di gayi hai.
    Wahan par humse 8 hours ki jagah 9 se 10 ghante kaam karwaya jaata tha, or hum logo ko koi extra payment nahi milti thi extra kaam karne ke liye. Hum logo ko public holiday ke din office main bulaya jaata tha. Company ab mere khilaf saajish kar rahi hai, Jin customer se maine 3-4 mahine pahle deal ki thi unko call karke bola ja raha hai ki aap ab mere (DHEERAJ BARSHILIA) against complaint daale or ye sab 15-06-2013 se chal raha hai.
    Ab aap log mujhe bataye ki main kahan jau labour court or civil court jahan mujhe asani se mujhe justice mil sake.

He was the first CDO of the company in India..This retirement clause was mentioned in the appointment letter of other CDOs who joined much later.And the company doesn’t have a service rule book too.
    Now my father is asking for an extension of three years. Can he demand extension till 58years?
    Please Reply fast

    • In case such clause is not mentioned in the appointment letter then you can move to local court against the company but this will may not serve your purpose, i suggest to ask your father’s employer to either compensate the 3 years service terms or extend the terms of employability

    • See such things are a routine in private companies.Work pressure , deadlines , family pressure may lead to your manager to use abusive words against you.Better , you meet him in person & politely talk to him in this issue.Dont loose your cool & patience

    I want to ask a question regarding an educational providing company basically an institution. The company has terminated an employee and also refused to pay his salary of 3 months which was continuously being delayed by the company from last 1 &half year. The company never paid the salary on time. The reason of terminating the employee was that he had some data of the company saved in his personal hard disk and he was also found guilty for giving private tutions to the in-house students of that particular institution.

    The company also asked the employee to pen it into paper and sign it that he is guilty of the tasks he has done ie.providing private tutions and keeping the company’s data.

    I want to ask you that is this a crime and if not what actions could be taken and how can he get back his 3 months salary.

  114. Dear sir/mam,

    I was working with a small interior design firm in pune, for 3 months. and i had been told that we will be merging in pvt.ltd. in a month. But as i observed there was constant mental & salary harassment from the both bosses. we never use to get on time salary plus they use to cut the salary for 5 to 7 minutes late, but at the same time they never use to consider the over time working of every employee.
    The height of the story- we were not given Diwali bonus or advance salary for this(Oct.2011) Diwali. Instead there will be deductions in salary because of Diwali leaves.
    So due to mental & economical harassment i resigned from 1st Nov.11
    And now when I am asking for my Oct. months salary they are making stories & refusing it. I really feel stupid for my decision to join in small firm.(previously i was working with future group company)
    Is there any thing I can do to get my salary & help the other employees too?

Registered address: Office No. 17, Evershine Mall, Link Road, Malad West, Mumbai, on 14th April 2011, and resigned the company providing the due notice of 25 days on 22nd june due to personal reasons. He accepted my resignation with the due notice period. As per the agreement the notice was to be paid for 2 months or salary in turn. The Owner of the company Mr. Malay Pankhania asked me to leave on 7th July 2011 itself from his side.

    He didn’t pay me the salary for the month of June and 7 days in July. When i called him either he is not picking up my call or postponing the date of giving me the settlement. Its already more than 2 months I left the organization, but yet I didn’t receive my final settlement. He also deducted the variable amount of 10% from my salary which he is not deducting from any other employee’s salary. which is not proper as per the HR policies. which should be payable on leaving the organization. Kindly suggest what can I do in this case as my salary come near 29,000, after all deductions that he mentioned in the appointment letter. I’m even paying him the basic of 1 month in turn of notice period, after that my salary comes to this amount.

  134. Vikram is a trade union leader with fifteen years of experience in a motor parts manufacturing factory. One of the laborer’s in the factory met with an accident while on duty. What will be the different means by which he will ensure that the laborer is well compensated for the work-related injury?

  135. All Labour related legislations in India speak with vehemence towards the Employers. This attitude is very IDEAL in the eyes of law to protect the the Labour class which remains in the bottomline of the present Indian society . When the Law was framed majority of labourers were illiterate and present day active media was never present to create a state of awareness amongst the common man .With Globalisation in Industry & corporates in India, the Labour laws in india needs to be suitably modified to serve the real need of the day.
    Thanx & regards

  140. hi,
    Would appreciate if someone can help me in the following matter. I was working with a private software company in bangalore. As per the employment agreement, it said i have to serve 2 months notice period. It also mentioned that reliving would be subject to proper handover of ongoing tasks during the so said notice period. After i put down my papers saying i will serve 2 months notice period, my manager replied saying we cannot relieve you. Mail said it would ideally take one year to complete the tasks however i need to work for at least 6 months to complete the tasks and then i can be relieved. i replied saying 6 months is not realistic and will server notice period as mentioned in my agreement. I accordingly served for 2 months plus 2 extra days. However they did not give my releiving letter and also did not pay for 2 months. Currently i have been following them but there is no positive reply. Can anyone pls tell if labour law applies for software company employees? One lawyer whom i met said it applies to only people with low income. for me i have to go to civil court. Thanks in advance any help in this regard.

  147. Dear Sir,
    Subject: My Pending settlement money from Saudi Arabia Company

    I am Krishnan Ramesh holding the Indian passport of E-5754756 & my residence address is B-16, Bird Street, Block-12, Neyveli-607803, Tamilnadu.
    I was worked more than three years (May 2006 – August 2009) at Saudi Aramco Oil Company in Saudi Arabia with my VISA Sponsor through H.A.Husseini & Partners Trading & Inspection Company (HAINSCO, C.R 2051017447) & my job title was Mechanical / Welding Inspector.
    After completed my end of contract in during last year September my company (HAINSCO) would have to pay my settlement amount of Saudi Riyal 69,944 (Indian Money about Rs 8, 75,000). But that time my company didn’t pay my settlement & they said that at the movement we don’t have the money in our company & we were waiting some amount due from other companies, so you wait some time we will pay after we receive the money, Accordingly I was waiting with my family more than a month after completed my contract with my company in Saudi Arabia for my settlement amount & finally they said that still we don’t receive the money so you go India now & very soon we will transfer your settlement amount to your Bank Account. that time from my side I don’t have sufficient money to manage with my family in Saudi Arabia also I had all the documents proof for my settlement due from my company, so I had left Saudi Arabia on last September 2009.
    After reached India I had contact them by several mails & phones but no response from their side & finally I had realized about my company they don’t like to pay my settlement & they are cheating me. After that I had contact Saudi Arabia Indian Embassy & I was sent all my supporting documents to them for their reference as per the embassy requested me. Then during last February Saudi Indian embassy had filed (My case number of: RIY /CW /235/4/2010(87)) my complaint & sent me the copy of letter which one they had send to my company regarding my issue. But for that latter also my company not responded,
    Mean time last may I had receive one more letter from Saudi Indian embassy & they advised me to keep separate lawyer to deal my problem. For your reference here I have attached some documents.
    Please go through & let me know
    is it possible to file a case in indian court against my saudi company to get my settlement ? Thank you

When i went their and joined them. that agency called me and said know need to disclose their name to the company, actually you are through some other company and they have provided contact details of other company through which i have joined the CMMI 5 company, then i understand that my agency and the other company is running this through mutual understanding. from the same date i was in big dilemma what should i do to save my job i was calmly doing my work with CMMI-5 company. After 5th month they were very happy with my performance and they absorb me as a permanent employee with paying the second company fees. Now my problem starts, till 5th month i was sending all my time sheet approvals to second company and my payment was coming from the first agency. Now there is some problem with second company and my agency, and my agency is refuse to pay my last month payment. saying second company have not paid us. When i forcefully demand for my payment they threatening me that they will complain to CMMI-5 company that i can not join them without their clearance. (Even I understand my agency have falsely mentioned CMMI company name in my agreement latter but they have no such agreement with CMMI company.). And second company is saying we have made your payment to your agency so you can take your payment from them.

    Please suggest me On the basis of that false contract my agency can harm me working as a permanent employee of CMMI Company. And how can I take my due payment from that agency.
    What legal action can I take against them for my due payment, without loosing my permanent job?

    I was working in an IT company for 2.8 yrs, singing a bank guarantee for 3 yrs. When i got better opportunity i consulted my unit HR and en-quired about my bond period. He directed me to close the bank guarantee as the corresponding documents were surrendered to the mentioned bank. Only after closing the deal with the bank i submitted my resignation. My resignation was duly approved and accepted by my manager and served the notice period as per the corporate norms and i received the resignation acceptance letter the day before my last working day. After four months when i asked for full and final settlement (including relieving and experience letter), the HR people are mentioning about my existence of bond. Now my future employment is at stake. Please advice me whether i can file against the company on this regard, if so what measures should i take.

  160. It is most unfortunate that we the retirees of Central GOVT. CPSU’s working under the guidelines of the DPE have come in for a rude shock. The Govt. initially approved the 2nd pay revision on 26.11.2008 by approving the enhanced gratuity of Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f. 01.01.2007. What made them change their minds? If the 6th CPC gratuity is to be implemented from 01.01.2006, then why this step motherly treatment to us? Are’nt we paying the same taxes as them? Hon. PM and FM, please look into this aspect as we have become easy targets and have lost out on Rs.6.5 lakhs which we were eagerly looking forward to.
