Guide to Employment Law

This Guide to Employment Law is intended to provide the readers from the manufacturing and service industries, students and researchers, a basic introduction to the various operative legislations in the country. We have highlighted essential features of interpersonal and productivity problems, keeping in view the somewhat grey areas of insubordination, absenteeism and violent behaviour. This book contains selection and hiring tips. Legislation and case studies make this book practical and useful to readers. The areas of contractual employment, types of contracts, breach and remedies are also discussed. Employment benefits including retirement benefits and special benefits to women form an important part of the book. Use of welfare measures, resolution of disputes, and mitigation of discrimination and harassment, to maintain harmony in a company is also discussed extensively.

There are illustrative sections on progressive programmes, improvement in hiring processes, training programmes, and dispute resolution programmes. The avoidable or sometimes inevitable consequences of termination and dismissal from service arising from industrial disputes are also critically examined.

This book provides detailed guidance on legal issues likely to arise in the course of employment and HR management. It covers the following:

· Basics of employment law
· Disputes
· Contracts
