How can an employee approach the Labour Deptt. for relief ?
Ans. An employee can approach the Labour Department for relief by making a representation in a plain paper giving necessary details like- name and address of the employer, name and address of the establishment, and facts constituting violation of law or service conditions etc. giving rise to the cause of action. However, where a specific law requires an application to be made in the prescribed Form and in the prescribed manner e.g. an application for gratuity to be made in Form N before the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the employee should make the application accordingly.
