Dear All,
I want to know if there is any procedure for the selection of members of the Grievance Redressal Committee as per the Industrial Disputes Act. In the Act, I could not find how to form the committee. Is the selection of members simply by nomination by HODs and by unions, or is there any specific procedure?

The Committee is expected to have a maximum of six members, of which at least three should be workers. If there are women employees, and the total number of committee members is two, at least one member should be a woman. The number of women members should be proportionately increased in relation to the total number of members in the committee. For instance, in a four-member committee, at least two should be women, and in a six-member committee, three should be women. From these members, one person will be selected as the Chairperson and will serve in that role for one year. If the first Chairperson is chosen from management representatives, the next Chairperson should be selected from the workers' members.
In addition to the above, there are no strict rules regarding the formation of the Grievance Redressal Committee.

Dear Colleagues,
Please refer provisions inserted under ID Act related to Grievance redressal as below:
On the enforcement of section 7 of Act 46 of 1982, a new chapter IIB shall stand inserted as directed in section 7 of that Act. For the Text of section 7 of that Act, see Appendix.
