FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Under Indian labour law, an employer cannot terminate a permanent workman without following the principles of natural justice—providing a charge sheet, conducting an inquiry, and issuing a show cause notice. Termination without due process can be challenged before a Labour Court.
Unpaid wages can be recovered by filing an application before the Labour Commissioner or under the Payment of Wages Act. Gratuity claims can be filed before the Controlling Authority appointed under the Payment of Gratuity Act. We handle both.
A dismissed workman can raise an industrial dispute under the Industrial Disputes Act, which is then referred to conciliation and ultimately to a Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal. The reinstatement, back wages, and compensation are all potential reliefs.
Non-deposit of PF contributions by an employer is a serious offence. You can file a complaint with the EPFO Regional Office or the PF Commissioner. We assist in filing the complaint and following up until your dues are recovered.
Under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, contract workers are entitled to certain statutory benefits including minimum wages, ESI, PF, and safe working conditions. We advise contract workers on their rights and pursue violations by principal employers.
