Covering major labour legislations—such as the Industrial Disputes Act, Factories Act, Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Bonus Act, Payment of Gratuity Act, Contract Labour Act, and more—the book explains the rights, duties, and obligations of employers, employees, and trade unions in an accessible format. It explores dispute resolution processes, collective bargaining, workplace discipline, misconduct, termination procedures, and the legal standards governing industrial establishments. The commentary integrates updated case law, statutory amendments, and practical insights relevant to modern HR management and labour administration. Special sections address compliance requirements, statutory registers, welfare measures, and the legal implications of workplace safety, employee benefits, and employment contracts. Written in a structured, practitioner-oriented style, the book serves as an essential reference for understanding how labour law principles operate in day-to-day industrial relations.
