Dear Seniors, Kindly tell me what are the rights of employees in case a employer shut down start up or lays off few emplyees because of cost cutting. With Regards
From India, Pune

1. Your query is vague.

2. I hope you are using the term "laid off" in its legal sense as defined in the Industrial Disputes Act, or you mean "retrenchment" (termination).

3. What is the level and number of these employees?

4. To better understand the situation, I would recommend that you read Chapter VA & VB of the Industrial Disputes Act.

From India, Thane

Industrial dispute means any dispute or difference between employers and employees or between employers and workmen, or between workmen and workmen, which is connected with the employment or non-employment, the terms of employment, or with the conditions of labor of any person.


Mr. P. Pandey,

How many employees are there? What category of employees are they? Are there any workmen? What is the nature of the business being carried out by the employer? Is it IT, ITES, BPO, or another type? Only then can we discuss the applicability of the ID Act.
