Labour & Employment Law Consultation Online
India mein labour law ek complex framework hai — Industrial Disputes Act 1947, Factories Act 1948, Payment of Gratuity Act 1972, EPF & Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952, Employees' State Insurance Act 1948, POSH Act 2013, CLRA 1970 — har situation ke liye alag Act aur alag section applicable hota hai. India mein "workman" ki definition khud Industrial Disputes Act Section 2(s) ke under hoti hai — supervisory ya managerial role wale employees is definition ke bahar hain, unke liye Civil Court ya alag remedy hai.
Wrongful termination mein Section 25F (retrenchment compensation), Section 25G (last-in-first-out principle), aur Section 25H (re-employment preference) samajhna zaroori hai. POSH Act 2013 ke under 10+ employees wale establishment mein ICC (Internal Complaints Committee) mandatory hai — non-compliance par employer ko ₹50,000 tak ka penalty (Section 26) aur establishment ka licence cancel ho sakta hai. EPF mein 12% employee + 12% employer contribution (basic + DA par), aur ESIC mein 3.25% employer + 0.75% employee — koi bhi default EPFO/ESIC tribunal tak ja sakta hai.
Vakilo ke consultants India ke specific rules — respective High Court ke labour law judgments, local labour office procedure, aur EPFO regional office process — sab mein step-by-step guide karte hain. Affordable consultation fees mein apna labour law matter samjhein aur sahi action lein.
