Practical Guide to Labour Management (A to Z from Selection to Separation)

.............................................................................................................................
Description
During interregnum twelfth and this edition have been radical amendments in labour laws pertaining to Apprentices Act, ESI Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986 and Employees' Compensation Act. The salient features of these amendments have been incorporated at appropriate places in this edition. Needless to reiterate if the law fails to respond to the needs of changing society, then either it will stifle the growth of the society and choke its progress or if the society is vigorous enough, it will take away the law which stands in the way of its growth. Law must, therefore, constantly be on the move adapting itself to the fast changing society and not lag behind. It must shake off the inhibiting legacy of its colonial past and assume a dynamic role in the process of social transformation.
