Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 alongwith allied Rules

This authoritative edition consolidates the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 and its allied Rules into a single, practical reference designed for quick workplace and courtroom use. The book reproduces statutory text and pairs each provision with clear annotations that explain the duty to pay equal remuneration for men and women for the same work or work of a similar nature, interpret key terms (remuneration, establishment, inspector), and outline the enforcement architecture — powers of inspectors, complaint mechanisms, penalties and adjudication procedures. Practical chapters translate law into compliance steps: conducting pay audits, drafting equal-pay policies, record maintenance, responding to inspection notices, and defending/initiating complaints before labour authorities. It includes model forms (inspection replies, show-cause responses, sample complaint petitions), a compliance checklist for employers, and illustrative case summaries that show how tribunals apply the statute. Designed for HR professionals, in-house counsel, labour law practitioners and policy researchers, this compact volume makes it simple to assess pay practices, implement corrective steps and navigate statutory enforcement effectively. The book balances statutory fidelity with operational tools so organisations can move from audit to action with confidence.
