“The scope and coverage of labour legislation are very wide and overlapping.” Elucidate the statement with a brief overview of labour legislation in India.

Labour has a vital role in increasing productivity and management has to help create conditions in which workers can make their maximum contribution towards tliis objective. In free India, the labour movement and trade unions should be in a position to assume larger responsibilities in the context of new scenario and challenges which are coming up in the IT' century. One of die main tasks in the Five Year Plans is to evolve practical ways in which they can make an increasing contribution to national development and national policy. The growth of the public sector provides opportunities for working out new concepts of labour relations and the association of labour in management in industry. Economic progress of a country is bound up with industrial peace. Industrial relations are, therefore, not a matter between employers and employees alone, but vital concern of community which may be expressed in measures for the protection of its larger interests. The National Commission on Labour, however, preferred to describe its approach as one in quest of industrial harmony rather than industrial peace. It emphasizes absence of strife and struggle. The concept of industrial harmony is positive and comprehensive and it postulates the existence of understanding, cooperation and a sense of partnership between the employers and employees. A quest for industrial harmony is indispensable when a country plans to make economic progress. It may sound platitudinous but is nevertheless that no nation can hope to survive in the modem the technological age, much less become strong, great and prosperous, unless it is wedded to industrial development and technological advance. Economic progress is bound up with industrial harmony for the simple reason that industrial harmony inevitably leads to more cooperation between employers and employees, which results in more productivity and thereby contributes to all round prosperity of the country. Healthy industrial relations, on which industrial harmony is founded, cannot therefore, be regarded, as a matter in which only the employers and employees are concerned; it is of vital significance to the community as a whole. That is how the concept of industrial involves the cooperation not only of the employers and employees but also of the community at large. This cooperation stipulates that employees and employers recognize that though they are fully justified ir safeguarding their respective rights and interests, they must also bear in mind the interests of the community. If this be the true scope of the concept of industrial harmony, it follows that industrial harmony should and ought to emphasize the importance or raising productivity but the resulting accelerated rate of growth will lead to the good of the community as a whole. Thus industrial prosperity of a country depends to a very great extent on the efficiency of industrial labour. Labour Legislation, trade unions and capital labour disputes are other very important issues which receive our attention. The term Labour Law is used to denote that body of laws which deal with employment and non- employment, wages, working conditions, industrial relations, social security and labour welfare of industrially employed, persons.

Scope of protection

Indian labour law makes a distinction between people who work in "organised" sectors and people working in "unorganised sectors".The laws list the different industrial sectors to which various labour rights apply. People who do not fall within these sectors, the ordinary law of contract appliesIndia's labour laws underwent a major update in the Industrial Disputes Act of 1947. Since then, an additional 45 national laws expand or intersect with the 1948 act, and another 200 state laws control the relationships between the worker and the company. These laws mandate all aspects of employer-employee interaction, such as companies must keep 6 attendance logs, 10 different accounts for overtime wages, and file 5 types of annual returns. The scope of labour laws extend from regulating the height of urinals in workers' washrooms to how often a work space must be lime-washed. Inspectors can examine working space anytime and declare fines for violation of any labour laws and regulations.

Employment contracts

Among the employment contracts that are regulated in India, the regulation involves significant government involvement which is rare in developed countries. The Industrial Employment _____ _____ ___ __________ ___ ___ _________ ______ _______ ___.
