Labour Law

Wages, POSH, PF, and worker protections

Every employer with 20+ employees must contribute to your Provident Fund — and you can check your balance anytime on the EPFO portal.

After 5 years of continuous service, every employee is entitled to gratuity — a lump sum payment as a reward for long service.

Working mothers are entitled to 26 weeks of fully paid maternity leave — one of the most generous in the world.

Every worker in a scheduled employment is entitled to a minimum wage fixed by the government — paying below it is a criminal offence.

Every workplace with 10+ employees must have an Internal Complaints Committee — and every woman has the right to a safe working environment.
