Labour Law Handbook Updates and Compliance: A Comprehensive Review

Dear All,

Please find the attached file for Labour Laws-related Mini Handbook for all my HR friends. There were around 45 views for the post that I sent on 14th July 2009 regarding "Appraisal Feedback Form," but I am very sorry to say that I did not receive even one response from my friends at the time of need. Anyways, there is always next time.

Regards,
Priya

Nice contribution...quite helpful. Do you have any format for the Works Committee and other committees required for CSR audit for a garment export house? Also, any ideas on the child labor remedial policy?

Good job. It is better to keep on updating amendments, especially for the Industrial Disputes Act and The Factories Act.

Regards,
Prakash

Dear Priya,

Thanks for the posting, but with due apologies to you and all my friends, I would like to add that the mini handbook is outdated and does not carry up-to-date changes. For example, under ESI, the wage limit is shown as Rs.7500, whereas it is now Rs.10000 from 1.10.2006.

Under the payment of wages act, the wage limit is shown as Rs.6500, whereas it is also raised to Rs.10000 w.e.f. 27.10.2007.

Likewise, under the Payment of Bonus Act, the coverage limit is shown as Rs.3500, and the calculation limit is Rs.2500, whereas it has now been changed to Rs.10000 and Rs.3500, respectively.

I suggest all to please check and reconfirm the correctness of facts, especially in the case of laws, before posting on the site, because many people may get carried away by the presumption of the correctness of facts and may use the information which may backfire.

With this post, I don't intend to hurt anyone or undermine the value of efforts put in by you in compiling the data, though the same material has already been posted many times by other friends.

Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

Regards,
Anil Kaushik

Hi Priya,

This is an old document, and updating is not done. Many things have been changed now. Please make sure before posting anything on citehr that everything is updated because many of us believe that whatever is posted on citehr is correct.

Dear Miss Priya,

I had been looking for some articles on Labour Law. This one comes as succour for me. Thank you so much for that.

Take care,

Hi Priya,

It is really very good and useful.

Also, please post the various important sections that are to be used in day-to-day workings of various labor laws.

Hi Priya,

It is a very good and informative post, similar to a "GAGAR MAIN SAGAR" creation. Keep it up!

Hi Priya,

Thank you for this very useful piece of work. I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work.

Please let me know the compliance to be made to the labour department - both shops & commercial establishment and under Factories Act such as monthly returns, quarterly returns, half-yearly and yearly returns - State as well as Central government.

Dear Priya,

Thanks for the PPT. Although some of the facts need to be revised, it's still good to have all the facts in front of you. Could you also elaborate on what all registers/forms/compliances need to be undertaken for the same?

Regards,
Sudhanshu

Dear Priya,

Thank you for the information you provided. It is truly valuable, and I am at a loss for words to express my appreciation for your work. The material you shared is extremely useful to me.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, my name is Anand. I have 2 years of experience in HR. Nowadays, it is rare to get interview calls from the places I have applied to. Can you provide me with some tips on how to increase my chances of receiving interview calls? I am eager to implement innovative ideas that will allow me to make a meaningful contribution in my future roles.

Dear Priya,

Your small law book is fantastic; it really helped us to deal with the current situation we are facing in our organization.

Can I have a copy of returns (filled and filed) annual/half-yearly copy to be submitted to the Director of Factories as per the Factory Act? And also returns copy as per Contract Labour Act.

Good one, thank you.

I am looking for a total checklist for the display, maintenance of registers, etc., in the factory premises. Can anyone help?

Regards,
Srinivas

It is good. It will help HR friends who look after statutory compliances.

Thank you for preparing this wonderful resource. I also want to include some of the relevant labor laws on my career site, The Science Jobs: Science, Technology, and Engineering Jobs, Fellowships, and Events. Contributions from all are welcome.

Dear All,

Can anyone educate me about LWF - Labour Welfare Fund in terms of its applicability to which sector of the industry? The rules and regulations, like other statutory deductions in our CTC.

Thank you,

Hi, I'm Vinod, working in a pharmaceutical company as a store in-charge. Could you help me with store documentation, software, and SOPs?

Hi All,

I am from a small company with 16 employees. We do not have PF, ESI, insurance, etc. Are these mandatory for any company? Are there any legal problems for not having PF? Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Shiva Nallareddy.

Thanks a lot to everyone for such nice and cute responses. It really motivates me to post more and more. But please update the book as and when necessary.

Special thanks to Sundara Rao for giving me the performance appraisal feedback form. Thank you so much! :-D

I agree with you, Anil. This material has been posted umpteen times in this forum itself. Posters should check before posting such "lifted" items. It is outdated, which is but natural when someone lifts materials and simply posts it again. It is sad to find people taking credit for something they have not created themselves. Regards.

Dear Priya,

The site has put up a timer wherein users cannot open documents quickly. The timer states it as two minutes, but it actually takes five minutes. Hence, users may not have time to waste waiting.

The administrators should consider removing the timer for viewing documents. I also couldn't see the document. Anyway, it is a good initiative. We can work together for an IT company.

Cheers,
Venkat

Hi,

This is a really good handbook. Also, a handbook with industry-wise business would be even cooler.

Hats off to you.

I have just downloaded and seen. A lot of effort has been put up, and I appreciate it. The list of the laws can be further expanded to include acts like the Mines Act, Plantation Act, etc. I have a suggestion to add one important benefit in the ESI Act chapter: disablement benefit. This is a very crucial benefit. Disablements resulting from injuries in accidents in the course of or out of employment are compensated. "Injury" is not only injuries sustained in accidents but also includes health impairments due to the work environment such as high noise, chemicals, gases, vapors, and so on - chronic poisoning. Even if your existing illness is exacerbated due to the work environment, one can claim compensation.

Dear Priya,

The labor law mini handbook is a very nice and wonderful gift for HR Managers to use as a reference.

Thank you.

Dear All,

I need your help. Kindly let me know about the labor laws which apply to Power units. I know that I should fulfill PF, ESIC, Bonus, Overtime, and Gratuity acts. Your valuable response will help me to fulfill the statutory compliances if I am missing any act.

Hi,

Very nice handbook on labor laws. Could you please send me the link where I can find the handbook on labor laws? Because I want to find out a handbook on business laws.

Can you please help out?

Hi, this is Gopalarao Pandrangi. Superb work! All the best, please continue. Please update/amend, it will be very useful.

The OP has not posted here since 2011, so we could safely assume they have moved on in their career.

Hence, there will be no updates.

Members of CiteHR should do their own research on relevant labor laws - both national and for their respective state - applicable to their particular industry or business. The Ministry of Labor and Employment should be your first port of call.
