Labour & Industrial Laws

Labour & Industrial Laws is a practical, statute-first handbook designed to serve law students, practicing labour lawyers, in-house counsel and HR/compliance teams. The book reproduces operative provisions of key enactments (including Industrial Disputes Act, Factories Act, Minimum Wages, Payment of Wages, Trade Unions Act and allied statutes) and aligns them with the recently consolidated labour codes where relevant, offering comparative notes that show how old provisions map into the new Codes. Each chapter provides concise annotations, annotated summaries of leading judgments, procedural flowcharts (for layoff/closure, dispute resolution, inspection & prosecution), specimen notices and model petitions for court or tribunal use. Practical checklists for monthly/quarterly compliance, a ready Forms directory, and a clear index make on-the-job retrieval fast and reliable. The text also discusses social security measures, occupational safety obligations and collective bargaining frameworks, and flags common compliance pitfalls for employers and counsel. By combining authoritative statute text with hands-on practice tools and up-to-date references to the labour code reforms, this compendium reduces legal risk for practitioners and speeds revision for students.
