many employers do not bother about labor laws and employment laws and the managers concerned are also not knowledgeable in these employee-related matters. labor officers are not taking up the matters in the right spirit to bring about judgments. trade unions also unaware of labor laws and their acts are at a particular stand.
the state and central governments must pave to pave the path for good labor legislations to maintain the cordial and harmonious relations.
Such words and sentences are found good in the books of law and HR management. only.

I do not think that anything wrong with the Governments or their officers dealing with the administration of labor laws on this particular issue.
On the contrary, it is the intransigent attitude of the employers and their managers to accept the verdicts of the Courts which are disadvantageous to their pecuniary interests on the ground of misinterpretation of Constitutional provisions relating to applicability of the decision of High Courts based on their geographical jurisdictions. In the absence of a contrary decision by the Supreme Court or any other High Court about a particular question of law pertaining to a provision of a Central Law like the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972, the decision of any High Court on such question should be accepted and followed by all the persons bound by such law alike is the correct legal position. But, still the management pundits do not accept this and the affected employees are also hesitant to go on appeal.
Law will help only those who dare to help themselves by knocking at its doors at the earliest!
