With a view to stop exploitation of workers , the government came out with a plethora of labour welfare laws from time to time. For example, these are Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, Shops & Establishment Act, Gratuity Act, Bonus Act, Factory Act, Employees State Insurance Act, Provident Fund Act, Trade Union Act, Industrial Disputes Act and so on.
Thus, under the provisions no worker can be engaged in duty beyond 8 hours a day and that too with a recess of at least half an hour at every interval of 4 hours. And if an employer engages an worker beyond 8 hours on exigency of service, he is to be paid overtime for that extended period. Essentially, engagement of an worker is a contract whereby terms & conditions of service including remuneration is required to be set out in letter of appointment , apart from more detailed staff regulations, if any. So, it is open for the employee concerned to enforce such terms, if there be any violation through appropriate redressal mechanism. It is also to be noted that basically there exists a master-servant relationship between a worker and employer. And both sides are expected to follow the terms of employment. If there be any dereliction of duty on the part of the worker, then it is also the right of the employer to take punitive action against the delinquent employee.
As the labour welfare laws are in place, so whenever an employer resorts to exploitation, a worker can approach the local Labour Commissioner for redressal of his grievance.
All things said and told, there is no denying of the fact that employers being powerful ( as it is them who can hire and fire) , it becomes often difficult for an employee to sustain his struggle to exert his rights and realse what is legitimately due to him.
