Labour Law Compliance
(Price Start at $ 42 /-)
Labour is one of the most crucial assets for any organisation, irrespective of its size. They are the backbone of all operations and play an integral role in the day-to-day functioning and long-term growth of the business. That is the reason why it is important to safeguard the interests of labourers and to protect them from any undue exploitation. And this is achieved through the various labour law legislations that are in place in India. Labour laws regulate the various aspects of labour and labour organisations such as trade unions, workers, companies etc. Considering the importance of labour laws, labour law compliance in India is a mandatory requirement and non-compliance with the statutory norms can lead to punitive action. This is why it makes sense to outsource labour compliance management to a firm that specialises in compliance and labour management.
Labour laws in India are enforced by both State and Central Governments and involve a series of legislations, and regulatory and statutory compliance. While filing returns and maintaining documents is a crucial aspect of labour law compliance, however, the entire process of labour law compliance is a much more complex procedure that involves an in-depth understanding of labour laws in India. Proper documentation and labour record maintenance are a must for businesses and can help organisations maintain strict compliance and avoid any legal hassle. Several labour law statutes govern labour law compliance in India. Some of the most important labour law statutes include:
- Laws related to industrial relations, like the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947, the Trade Unions Act of 1926, etc.
- Laws that relate to wages, such as the Minimum Wages Act, of 1948, Payment of Wages Act 1936 etc.
- Laws that relate to working hours, service, conditions and employment, such as the Plantation Labour Act, of 1951, Factories Act, of 1948, Mines Act, of 1952 etc.
- Laws related to deprived sections and disadvantaged labour strata of the society, such as the Child Labour (Prohibition & Regulation) Act, 1986, Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976 etc.
- Laws relating to Social Security such as the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948, Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 etc.
What are the Documents required to Comply with Labour Laws?
For effective labour law compliance, it is important to comply with different statutory legislations, appropriate authorities and certain conditions. Several documents are required for this purpose. Some of these include:
- Documents reflecting the legal status of the organisations
- Employee insurance policies, cover notes etc.
- Documents reflecting minimum wage policy and employee salary brakeups
- Documents pertaining to the Employee Provident Fund schemes
- TDS Documents
- Payroll Documents
- Organization’s safety and compliance certificates
What are the Penalties that can be there, if Not Complied with Labour Laws?
Labour law compliance is a mandatory requirement and non-compliance can have a huge impact on companies and business organisations. Penalties for non-compliance of labour laws include:
Fines
Fines are the most common violation penalties for non-compliance with labour law regulations. Almost all major labour law statutes provide for penalties in the form of fines. The amount and nature of the fine depend on the gravity of the violation and the nature of non-compliance. Some of the various labour law legislations that involve fines as a penalty for non-compliance include statutes such as the Factories Act, of 1948, Industrial Disputes Act, of 1947, Minimum Wages Act of 1947 etc.
Imprisonment
Another grave punishment that several labour law statutes have in place for gross non-compliance of labour regulations in India is imprisonment. The nature, duration and kind of imprisonment depends on the gravity and nature of non-compliance. Labour law statutes such as the Apprentices Act, of 1961, Industrial Disputes Act, of 1947, Payment of Bonuses Act of 1965 etc. provide for imprisonment as a penalty for non-compliance.
Cancellation of Registration
Another penalty for non-compliance as provided by various labour law statutes and regulations is the cancellation of registration certificates etc. This is another grave consequence of non-compliance that can weigh heavily on any organization as cancellation of registration can have a huge negative impact on an organisation’s goodwill and repute.
