LABOR LEGISLATION
Labor Legislation : The term ‘Labor Legislation’ is used
to cover all the laws which have been enacted to deal
with employment and non-employment, wages, working
conditions, industrial relations, social security and
welfare of persons employed in industries.


 Thus ‘Labor Legislation’ refers to all laws of the
government to provide social and economic security to
the workers. These acts are aimed at reduction of
production losses due to industrial disputes and to
ensure timely payment wages and other minimum
amenities to workers.
Nature of Labor Legislation


Products of Industrial Revolution


 Regards Individual as a worker

 Deals with problems of Labor


      It Is Role -Relation


Regulates Conditions of Labor
• Products of Industrial Revolution :
         The Labor Legislations are the products of
   Industrial Revolution and they have come into being
   to take care of errors created by it due to specific
   circumstances.. They are different from common
   legislations.Thyerefore they are specific and not
   general in philosophy, concept and even in
   practice.
II. Regards Individual as a worker :
        Labor Legislation regards the individual as a
   worker, whereas social legislation considers him as
   primarily as a citizen. Workers being the weaker
   class of the society, suffer at the hands of the
   employers. Therefore, these set of legislations are
   aimed at protecting and securing justice to them.
III. Deals with Problems of Labor :
     Labor Legislations seeks to deal with the
problems arising out of the occupational
status of individuals. Problems such as hours
of work, wages, working conditions, trade
unionism, industrial relations are the main
subject matter of labor legislation.
IV. It is Role- Relation :

     Individuals have different role to perform
and different laws are designed for regulating
the different roles. It is the role relation that
determines whether a particular legislation
falls under the category of labor legislation,
social legislation or general legislation. All
these legislations try to meet the specific
objectives that are:
To provide subsistence (means).
To aim at abundance (affluence).
To encourage equality.
To maintain security.
V. Regulates Conditions of Labor:
       Labor legislations are aimed at regulating
conditions of labor, hence they are required to be
revised more frequently as compared to general
legislations. Unless labor legislation are subjected
to frequent revision and left to continue as they
are, they become absolete and irrelevant.
Need For Labor Legislation


    Weak Labor Organizations


      Occupational Insecurity


   Hazardous Working Conditions


          Law And Order


Achieving Socio – Economic Progress
The Need of Labor Legislation becomes important
  because of following reasons :
• Weak Labor Organizations :
    Individual worker is economically very weak and is
  unable to bargain his terms with the employers. Even,
  Labor organizations are relatively weak and in most
  cases, they depend merely on the mercy employers.
  Now as the payment of wages, lay off, dismissal,
  retrenchments etc, are all governed by the
  legislations, economic insecurity of workers is
  removed to great extent.
• Occupational Insecurity :
    The workers in many organizations, did not get
  the amount in case of accidents, deaths etc. As a
  result, the workers faced occupational insecurity.
  Now, benefits such as Occupational Act,
  Employees State Insurance Act, etc have been
  statutorily given to the employees.
• Hazardous Working Conditions:
     Workers health and safety is always in danger
  due to harmful working condition in some
  factories.The Factories Act, contains a numbere
  of provisions relating to health, safety and
  welfare of workers.
• Law And Order :
      Labor legislation is also necessary in order to
  maintain law and order situation and national
  security of the country.The idea of welfare state is
  emboided in the directive principles of the
  constitution and for that reason various labor laws
  have been enacted to protect the sections of the
  society.
• Achieving Socio –economic Progress :
   Labor legislation is one of the most progressive and
  dynamic instruments for achieving socio – economic
  progress.
Objectives of Labor Legislation :
To protect the workers from profit seeking
exploiters.
To ensure that the service conditions should be
clearly spelt out by the employer to the
employee.
To improve and regulate the working conditions
of workers employed in different factories and
establishments.
To make statutory provision for the regular
trainings of a certain number of apprentices in
different trades.
To ensure that the employees are paid their wages
on fixed dates and there should be no deduction
made from the wages.



To promote industrial relations and industrial
peace between employers and employees.

To preserve the health, safety and welfare of
workers.
To protect the interests of women and childeren
working in the factories.
To maintain the dignity of employees in ther
organizations.
Growth Of Labor Legislation in India :
Labor legislation in India grew with the growth of
industry.In the eighteenth century India was not
only a great agricultural country but a great
manufacturing country too. Asian and European
markets were mainly fed by the looms supplied by
India. but British government in India as a matter of
policy discouraged Indian manufacturers in order to
encourage the rising manufacturers of England.
Their policy was to make Indian people grow only
raw materials. The British oppression in India continued
for some time, which led to the growth of Indian
nationalism. In twentieth century, the national movement
took a new turn and there was a common demand for
Indian goods.
A non- cooperation movement, which is known as
Swadeshi movement, was started , which urged upon
the people to use goods made in India and to boycott
foreign goods.
  The non – cooperation movement synchronized with
periods o economic crisis gave impetus to
industrialization. Not only that, growth of Indian private
sector owes much to these popular movements. Indian
economists not only advocated that the trade and
commerce should be free but they laid emphasis on the
free trade of local goods. An attempt was made to put
forward a theory of economic development and
planning suited to conditions of our country. After
thirtieth century planning was accepted by the national
movement as its economic ideology. Thus planned
Industrialization became our main goal.
In India the plantation industry in Assam was the
   first to attract the legislative. A number of acts
   were passed from 1863 onwards to regulate the
   recruitments. These legislations protected more
   interests of the employers than safeguarding the
   interest of the workers.The Factories Act, was
   passed in 1881 and theMines Act in1901.But the
   most important act that was passed to protect
   the interest of the workers was the Workmen’s
   Compensation Act, 1923.
 Some of the other important social security
  legislations are :
3. The Employees State insurance Act, 1948
4. The employees Provident Funds Act, 1952 and
5. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961
Laws were also made to regulate the labor
  management relations. Some of them are :
2. The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
3. The Trade Unions Act, 1926, and
4. The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders ) Act,
   1946.
 Labor legislations ensuring labor welfare and
  minimum standards were also enacted. Some of
  them are :
6. The Factories Act, 1948
7. The Minimum Wages Act, 1948
8. The Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and
9. The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965.
Impact Of ILO
 Labor class is indeed one of the classes most vulnerable
to exploitation. Most of the labor legislations in India are
  pre- constitutional. The concept of fundamental rights
was introduced in the constitution. The success of these
   labor legislations must be attribute to the ILO, as the
    guidelines issued by the ILO formed the principle on
 which these legislations were drawn. The ILo did have a
 great impact on the labor laws in India. Many new laws
 were enacted to incorporate the guidelines of the ILO.
The Setting of ILO also saw the amendment of
  Factories Act, 1881. All these amended and enacted
  legislations make provisions for the general welfare
  and protection of interest of the labors in India.The
  positive influence of ILO was seen in the form of
  recognition of many new kinds of rights that were
  not available to the labor class, but were made
  available post creation of ILO.
 The impact of ILO on India is felt in the following
  fields :
• Labor Legislation : Until 1919, there were no
  important labor legislations in India.But, with the
  establishment of ILO and Indians uninterrupted
  association with this organizations, coupled with
  trade union pressure in the country, has greatly
  influenced labor legislation.
•  Technical Assistance :The ILO has been providing
  technical assistance in implementing various social security
  measures in programs designed to explore workers
  education, including vocational training and in improving
  employment service.
• Social Security :The ILo assigned technical expertise to
  advise on the implementation of social security legislation
  such as Employees State Insurance Act of 1948.
• Vocational Training : Technical assistance in the fields of
  vocational training began in 1950 and has since covered
  various aspects of the programs. During this period, ILo
  assisted in formulating suitable syllabuses for different
  grades of workers in different trades and thereby helped to
  improve the standars of vocational training in India.
1) Training within the Industry : ILO experts
   helped in training large number of persons in
   India to ensure systematic introduction of the
   training within the program in interested mills.
2) Employment Service : The ILo provided experts
   to assist the authorities to improve employment
   service. They assisted in organizing pilot
   projects for collecting exhaustive data on labor
   market and in classification of industrial
   occupation on the basis of ILo’s international
   standards classification for further research and
   analysis in India.
•    Productivity : The ILo experts have been collaborating with
    their Indian counter parts in the study of the problems
    connected with productivity since 1952.The recommendations
    given by them led to the establishment of the national
    productivity center.
Impact of ILO on Labor Laws in India :
     With the growth and expansion of factories and
 industries new avenues for employment were created,
resulting in to gradual migration of labor force from rural
                   areas to urban areas.
In the absence of any state control or organization of the
 workers, the employers were less concerned about the
 needs of the employees & their work hours. The wages
were much below the subsistence (survival )level and the
         working conditions were unsatisfactory.
  This situations led to the enactment of a number of
legislations beginning from the year 1881. These include
 The Factories Act (1881), Workmen's Compensation Act
(1923), Trade Unions Act (1926), The Payment of Wages
ACt,(1936), The Maternity Benefit Act (1939) and so on.
The Factories Act 1881, is the basis of all labor and
industrial laws of the country.It contained provisions for
even working hours for men and women, minimum age
for employment of children. After the formation of ILO in
1919,this act was amended, which made provisions for
safety, health and hygiene of the workers. It also made
special provision for women and juvenile workers (i.e.
labor above the age of 16 but less than 18).It also
prohibited child labor.
Under the Mines Act 1923, which applies to workers
employed in mines, the hours of work for the persons
employed on the surface are limited to ten per day and
fifty four per week. The periods of work including rest
interval should not be more than 12 hours in a day. For
the workers working underground, the working hours per
day is nine .The Act does not contain provisions for
overtime. No worker is to work in a mine for more than
six days a week. The Act does not provide for wages for
the weekly rest day.
The Government of India set up an enquiry committee in
1926 to ascertain the loophole for irregularity of payment of
wages to industrial workers. The Royal Commission on Labor
considered the reports and suggestions and recommended for
enactment relating to payment of wages. It aimed (a) At
disbursement of actual wages to workers within the prescribed
period and (b) To ensure that the employees get their full
wages without any deduction. The object of the Act obviously
was to provide a cheap and speedy remedy for employees to
recover the wages due to them.
     The Weekly holidays Act,1942 prescribes one paid holiday
a week for persons employed in any shop, restaurant or
theater. The government is empowered to grant additional half-
day holiday with pay in a week.
The Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 provided for
establishment of industrial tribunal by the
appropriate government in British India. It
established a full- fledged industrial tribunal for
adjudication of industrial disputes for the first
time.
    The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders)
Act, 1946, defined the terms of employment of
workmen in the form of standing orders .
    The Merchant Shipping Act, 1923, provided for
agreement between a seaman and the master of
the ship regarding the terms of service.
Impact of ILO Conventions on Labor Laws
          Conventions are international treaties and are
instruments, which create legally binding obligations on
the countries that ratify (accept) them. Recommendations
are non- binding and set out guidelines orienting national
policies and actions.
     The ILO was set up in the year 1919, with an aim to
improve the conditions of labors around the world. ILO
through its conventions and recommendations helps
nations to draw their own set of labor laws for the better
treatment of the working class and the preservation of
their rights. India was the founding member of ILO. The
ILO instruments have provided guidelines and useful
framework for the evolution of legislative and
administrative measures for the protection and
advancement of the interest of labor in India.
Ratification of a convention imposes legally binding
obligations on the country concerned, therefore India
has been very careful in ratifying conventions. India has
always made it a practice to ratify conventions when it
is fully satisfied that its laws and practices are in
conformity with the relevant ILO convention. So far,
India has ratified 39 conventions of the ILO.
   There are eight core conventions of the ILO (also
called fundamental / human rights conventions). They
are as follows: The first four conventions have been
ratified by India.
Forced Labor Convention (No.29)
Abolition of forced Labor Convention. (No.105)
 Equal Remuneration Convention. No. 100)
Discrimination (Employment Occupation)
Convention (No.111),
Freedom of Association and Protection of Right
to Organized Convention (87),
Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining
Convention (No.98),
Minimum Age Convention.(No.138)
Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention.(No.182)

Labor legislation

  • 1. LABOR LEGISLATION Labor Legislation : The term ‘Labor Legislation’ is used to cover all the laws which have been enacted to deal with employment and non-employment, wages, working conditions, industrial relations, social security and welfare of persons employed in industries. Thus ‘Labor Legislation’ refers to all laws of the government to provide social and economic security to the workers. These acts are aimed at reduction of production losses due to industrial disputes and to ensure timely payment wages and other minimum amenities to workers.
  • 2. Nature of Labor Legislation Products of Industrial Revolution Regards Individual as a worker Deals with problems of Labor It Is Role -Relation Regulates Conditions of Labor
  • 3. • Products of Industrial Revolution : The Labor Legislations are the products of Industrial Revolution and they have come into being to take care of errors created by it due to specific circumstances.. They are different from common legislations.Thyerefore they are specific and not general in philosophy, concept and even in practice. II. Regards Individual as a worker : Labor Legislation regards the individual as a worker, whereas social legislation considers him as primarily as a citizen. Workers being the weaker class of the society, suffer at the hands of the employers. Therefore, these set of legislations are aimed at protecting and securing justice to them.
  • 4. III. Deals with Problems of Labor : Labor Legislations seeks to deal with the problems arising out of the occupational status of individuals. Problems such as hours of work, wages, working conditions, trade unionism, industrial relations are the main subject matter of labor legislation.
  • 5. IV. It is Role- Relation : Individuals have different role to perform and different laws are designed for regulating the different roles. It is the role relation that determines whether a particular legislation falls under the category of labor legislation, social legislation or general legislation. All these legislations try to meet the specific objectives that are: To provide subsistence (means). To aim at abundance (affluence). To encourage equality. To maintain security.
  • 6. V. Regulates Conditions of Labor: Labor legislations are aimed at regulating conditions of labor, hence they are required to be revised more frequently as compared to general legislations. Unless labor legislation are subjected to frequent revision and left to continue as they are, they become absolete and irrelevant.
  • 7. Need For Labor Legislation Weak Labor Organizations Occupational Insecurity Hazardous Working Conditions Law And Order Achieving Socio – Economic Progress
  • 8. The Need of Labor Legislation becomes important because of following reasons : • Weak Labor Organizations : Individual worker is economically very weak and is unable to bargain his terms with the employers. Even, Labor organizations are relatively weak and in most cases, they depend merely on the mercy employers. Now as the payment of wages, lay off, dismissal, retrenchments etc, are all governed by the legislations, economic insecurity of workers is removed to great extent.
  • 9. • Occupational Insecurity : The workers in many organizations, did not get the amount in case of accidents, deaths etc. As a result, the workers faced occupational insecurity. Now, benefits such as Occupational Act, Employees State Insurance Act, etc have been statutorily given to the employees. • Hazardous Working Conditions: Workers health and safety is always in danger due to harmful working condition in some factories.The Factories Act, contains a numbere of provisions relating to health, safety and welfare of workers.
  • 10. • Law And Order : Labor legislation is also necessary in order to maintain law and order situation and national security of the country.The idea of welfare state is emboided in the directive principles of the constitution and for that reason various labor laws have been enacted to protect the sections of the society. • Achieving Socio –economic Progress : Labor legislation is one of the most progressive and dynamic instruments for achieving socio – economic progress.
  • 11. Objectives of Labor Legislation : To protect the workers from profit seeking exploiters. To ensure that the service conditions should be clearly spelt out by the employer to the employee. To improve and regulate the working conditions of workers employed in different factories and establishments. To make statutory provision for the regular trainings of a certain number of apprentices in different trades.
  • 12. To ensure that the employees are paid their wages on fixed dates and there should be no deduction made from the wages. To promote industrial relations and industrial peace between employers and employees. To preserve the health, safety and welfare of workers. To protect the interests of women and childeren working in the factories. To maintain the dignity of employees in ther organizations.
  • 13. Growth Of Labor Legislation in India : Labor legislation in India grew with the growth of industry.In the eighteenth century India was not only a great agricultural country but a great manufacturing country too. Asian and European markets were mainly fed by the looms supplied by India. but British government in India as a matter of policy discouraged Indian manufacturers in order to encourage the rising manufacturers of England. Their policy was to make Indian people grow only raw materials. The British oppression in India continued for some time, which led to the growth of Indian nationalism. In twentieth century, the national movement took a new turn and there was a common demand for Indian goods.
  • 14. A non- cooperation movement, which is known as Swadeshi movement, was started , which urged upon the people to use goods made in India and to boycott foreign goods. The non – cooperation movement synchronized with periods o economic crisis gave impetus to industrialization. Not only that, growth of Indian private sector owes much to these popular movements. Indian economists not only advocated that the trade and commerce should be free but they laid emphasis on the free trade of local goods. An attempt was made to put forward a theory of economic development and planning suited to conditions of our country. After thirtieth century planning was accepted by the national movement as its economic ideology. Thus planned Industrialization became our main goal.
  • 15. In India the plantation industry in Assam was the first to attract the legislative. A number of acts were passed from 1863 onwards to regulate the recruitments. These legislations protected more interests of the employers than safeguarding the interest of the workers.The Factories Act, was passed in 1881 and theMines Act in1901.But the most important act that was passed to protect the interest of the workers was the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923. Some of the other important social security legislations are : 3. The Employees State insurance Act, 1948 4. The employees Provident Funds Act, 1952 and 5. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961
  • 16. Laws were also made to regulate the labor management relations. Some of them are : 2. The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 3. The Trade Unions Act, 1926, and 4. The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders ) Act, 1946. Labor legislations ensuring labor welfare and minimum standards were also enacted. Some of them are : 6. The Factories Act, 1948 7. The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 8. The Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and 9. The Payment of Bonus Act, 1965.
  • 17. Impact Of ILO Labor class is indeed one of the classes most vulnerable to exploitation. Most of the labor legislations in India are pre- constitutional. The concept of fundamental rights was introduced in the constitution. The success of these labor legislations must be attribute to the ILO, as the guidelines issued by the ILO formed the principle on which these legislations were drawn. The ILo did have a great impact on the labor laws in India. Many new laws were enacted to incorporate the guidelines of the ILO.
  • 18. The Setting of ILO also saw the amendment of Factories Act, 1881. All these amended and enacted legislations make provisions for the general welfare and protection of interest of the labors in India.The positive influence of ILO was seen in the form of recognition of many new kinds of rights that were not available to the labor class, but were made available post creation of ILO. The impact of ILO on India is felt in the following fields : • Labor Legislation : Until 1919, there were no important labor legislations in India.But, with the establishment of ILO and Indians uninterrupted association with this organizations, coupled with trade union pressure in the country, has greatly influenced labor legislation.
  • 19. • Technical Assistance :The ILO has been providing technical assistance in implementing various social security measures in programs designed to explore workers education, including vocational training and in improving employment service. • Social Security :The ILo assigned technical expertise to advise on the implementation of social security legislation such as Employees State Insurance Act of 1948. • Vocational Training : Technical assistance in the fields of vocational training began in 1950 and has since covered various aspects of the programs. During this period, ILo assisted in formulating suitable syllabuses for different grades of workers in different trades and thereby helped to improve the standars of vocational training in India.
  • 20. 1) Training within the Industry : ILO experts helped in training large number of persons in India to ensure systematic introduction of the training within the program in interested mills. 2) Employment Service : The ILo provided experts to assist the authorities to improve employment service. They assisted in organizing pilot projects for collecting exhaustive data on labor market and in classification of industrial occupation on the basis of ILo’s international standards classification for further research and analysis in India.
  • 21. Productivity : The ILo experts have been collaborating with their Indian counter parts in the study of the problems connected with productivity since 1952.The recommendations given by them led to the establishment of the national productivity center.
  • 22. Impact of ILO on Labor Laws in India : With the growth and expansion of factories and industries new avenues for employment were created, resulting in to gradual migration of labor force from rural areas to urban areas. In the absence of any state control or organization of the workers, the employers were less concerned about the needs of the employees & their work hours. The wages were much below the subsistence (survival )level and the working conditions were unsatisfactory. This situations led to the enactment of a number of legislations beginning from the year 1881. These include The Factories Act (1881), Workmen's Compensation Act (1923), Trade Unions Act (1926), The Payment of Wages ACt,(1936), The Maternity Benefit Act (1939) and so on.
  • 23. The Factories Act 1881, is the basis of all labor and industrial laws of the country.It contained provisions for even working hours for men and women, minimum age for employment of children. After the formation of ILO in 1919,this act was amended, which made provisions for safety, health and hygiene of the workers. It also made special provision for women and juvenile workers (i.e. labor above the age of 16 but less than 18).It also prohibited child labor.
  • 24. Under the Mines Act 1923, which applies to workers employed in mines, the hours of work for the persons employed on the surface are limited to ten per day and fifty four per week. The periods of work including rest interval should not be more than 12 hours in a day. For the workers working underground, the working hours per day is nine .The Act does not contain provisions for overtime. No worker is to work in a mine for more than six days a week. The Act does not provide for wages for the weekly rest day.
  • 25. The Government of India set up an enquiry committee in 1926 to ascertain the loophole for irregularity of payment of wages to industrial workers. The Royal Commission on Labor considered the reports and suggestions and recommended for enactment relating to payment of wages. It aimed (a) At disbursement of actual wages to workers within the prescribed period and (b) To ensure that the employees get their full wages without any deduction. The object of the Act obviously was to provide a cheap and speedy remedy for employees to recover the wages due to them. The Weekly holidays Act,1942 prescribes one paid holiday a week for persons employed in any shop, restaurant or theater. The government is empowered to grant additional half- day holiday with pay in a week.
  • 26. The Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 provided for establishment of industrial tribunal by the appropriate government in British India. It established a full- fledged industrial tribunal for adjudication of industrial disputes for the first time. The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, defined the terms of employment of workmen in the form of standing orders . The Merchant Shipping Act, 1923, provided for agreement between a seaman and the master of the ship regarding the terms of service.
  • 27. Impact of ILO Conventions on Labor Laws Conventions are international treaties and are instruments, which create legally binding obligations on the countries that ratify (accept) them. Recommendations are non- binding and set out guidelines orienting national policies and actions. The ILO was set up in the year 1919, with an aim to improve the conditions of labors around the world. ILO through its conventions and recommendations helps nations to draw their own set of labor laws for the better treatment of the working class and the preservation of their rights. India was the founding member of ILO. The ILO instruments have provided guidelines and useful framework for the evolution of legislative and administrative measures for the protection and advancement of the interest of labor in India.
  • 28. Ratification of a convention imposes legally binding obligations on the country concerned, therefore India has been very careful in ratifying conventions. India has always made it a practice to ratify conventions when it is fully satisfied that its laws and practices are in conformity with the relevant ILO convention. So far, India has ratified 39 conventions of the ILO. There are eight core conventions of the ILO (also called fundamental / human rights conventions). They are as follows: The first four conventions have been ratified by India.
  • 29. Forced Labor Convention (No.29) Abolition of forced Labor Convention. (No.105)  Equal Remuneration Convention. No. 100) Discrimination (Employment Occupation) Convention (No.111), Freedom of Association and Protection of Right to Organized Convention (87), Right to Organize and Collective Bargaining Convention (No.98), Minimum Age Convention.(No.138) Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention.(No.182)
