Dear Seniors,
I have no experience in Generalist functions, but recently I was transferred to the HR operations department, and I don't know much about labor laws such as the leave act, wages act, factories act, etc. I am very confused about these acts and which ones to explore and learn about. I am thinking of buying H L Kumar's book on labor laws. Could you please provide me with details on the acts covered in the book and recommend the best book to gain a clear understanding of all acts? Currently, I am working in a manufacturing company.
Please help me out.
Regards,

Since you are working in a HR unit, it is crucial to have a fairly thorough knowledge of the Factories Act, 1948, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Contract Labor (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, and the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. You cannot master all these laws in a single go.

Ma'am, don't take it as a burden and don't spend too much time going through the books. Instead, concentrate on your work activities with the help of your boss; this is the best exercise. The Acts mentioned by Mr. Umakanthan are all crucial for the manufacturing sectors. Use the books for reference purposes only. A great exercise for beginners is practical application. These Acts should be utilized as tools. For basic learning, familiarize yourself with the Acts mentioned above for knowledge and focus on the main sections of the Factory Act related to Health, Wealth, and Sections 50 to 66. Additionally, in EPF and ESI, there are important statutory regulations that need to be followed in factories and establishments. Congratulations on your progress.

Dear member, you can visit any law book seller in Delhi and select the book containing labor laws of your choice. As far as I know, there is one shop - namely Jain Book Shop, in Connaught Place, New Delhi.

Adding to what Logesh mentioned, I would like to tell you, Poja, that it is important for you as an HR Manager to acquire a thorough knowledge of the Acts and Rules that you come across in your day-to-day functions. You can get these books from any Law Book Seller as suggested by Harsh Kumar. Simply going through the bare Act and Rules will be a little bit confusing if you don't have a legal background. So, apart from book reading, you should devote considerable time and attention to the questions and answers finding a place on legal websites like Cite HR, which will certainly enhance your understanding of the legal provisions with specific reference to their practical applications.

Dear seniors,
Thank you very much for your valuable advice. I still have a question for you, please advise the same. I have gone through the Delhi Establishment Act as my company falls under the act, but there is basic information provided where details about leave types and availing rules are missing. Only PL and CL have been mentioned.

Dear Logesh,
Please go through the Government Order (G.O.) fixing or revising the rates of basic wages in respect of any scheduled employment carefully. You will find an explanatory note containing the method of calculation of Dearness Allowance (D.A.) in line with the increase in the cost of living index for each year until the expiry of the relevant G.O. Therefore, there is no need for any separate authorization or special permission to calculate the D.A. periodically.
Generally, there will be a circular from the Commissioner of Labour, Chennai annually regarding the rates of D.A. payable effective from April 1 of the current year. This calculation is based on the average increase in the 12 calendar months of the previous year for all scheduled employments. You also have the option to calculate it yourself.
Thank you.
