The Industrial Disputes Act came into force in 1947 and extends to the entire country of India. It was the first government intervention in labor affairs and aims to prevent and settle industrial disputes through mechanisms like works committees, conciliation officers, boards of conciliation, courts of inquiry, labor courts, tribunals, and national tribunals. The Act seeks to secure industrial peace and improve workmen's conditions in industries across both private and public sectors.
The Payment of Wages Act regulates the payment of wages to workers in certain industries. It requires wages to be paid regularly and prohibits unauthorized deductions. The Act defines wages and applies to factories, railways, and other establishments. It specifies rules for fixing wage periods, timely payment of wages including upon termination, and permissible deductions such as for fines and loans. Employers must maintain registers with details of workers, work, wages paid, and deductions made. The Act aims to ensure proper and prompt payment of wages to workers.
The document summarizes the Employees' State Insurance Act of 1948 in India. The key points are:
1) The objective of the act is to provide sickness, maternity and medical benefits to employees and dependents benefits in certain industries.
2) It applies to factories using power with 20+ employees and certain other establishments like shops and hotels.
3) The Employees' State Insurance Corporation was established to administer the social insurance scheme. It has powers to invest funds and promote health measures.

The Act aims to prevent exploitation of workers, especially in industries where labor is unorganized. It allows appropriate governments to prescribe minimum wage rates for certain employments. Key features include fixing minimum wage rates and normal working hours, provisions for overtime work, and penalties for non-compliance.

2. INTRODUCTION
• Working hours are one of the biggest concerns of
wage earning employees and in India these have
been settled by various labour laws enacted
before and after independence, all of which draw
inspiration from the Washington Convention of
1919 and Geneva Convention of 1921 ratified by
the British India Government in 1923.
3. • On the Indian Railways three landmark
developments have helped in the evolution of
the present framework of working hours in
which this system operates; these are
• 1 Railways Amendment Act 1931,
• 2 Rajadhyaksha Committee Report 1946
(Adjudicators Award) and
• 3 Miabhoy Tribunal Award 1969-72.
4. History of work
• The concept of protecting workers from the
perils of labour environments dates all the
way back to 14th-century in Europe.
The first example of the modern labour rights
movement, though, came in response to the
brutal working conditions that accompanied
the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the
18th and 19th centuries.
5. • In 1802, the Parliament of the United Kingdom
passed what is now known as the English Factory
Act.
• The act sought to regulate the workday of
apprentices by restricting work hours to 12 per
day.
• In doing so, the English Factory Act served as a
precursor to the models of international labor
standards seen today
6. • . Such conventions focused primarily on
improving working conditions in relation to
hours of work, women's and children's labor,
and the use of hazardous materials.
7. International Labour Organization
• In 1919, following the end of the First World War,
the agenda on international labor standards
reached a new level of prominence as a result of
the founding of the International Labour
Organization.
• As mandated by Part XIII of the Treaty of
Versailles, the ILO was created as a branch of
the League of Nations in order to address all
conceivable aspects of labor rights. Preliminary
efforts focused primarily on the eradication of
slavery and all forms of forced labor.
8. • The agenda quickly expanded, however, to
include the rights to freedom of association
and collective bargaining, nondiscrimination in
employment, and the elimination of child
labor.
9. -
• The ILO’s creation marked the first instance of
multiple major international actors coming
together in an attempt to reach a consensus on
universal workers’ rights.
• Despite a lack of any formal means of coercion,
the ILO then urged its 44 original member
countries to adopt and ratify conventions limiting
oppressive labor market practices
10. • Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 is
an International Labour Organization Convention.
• It was established in 1919:
• Having decided upon the adoption of certain
proposals with regard to the "application of the
principle of the 8-hour working day or of the 48-
hours week"...
11. Railway ACT 1890 CHAPTER VI
WORKING OF RAILWAYS
• 7. (1) The railway administration or], an
officer to be appointed by the Government in
this behalf, shall make general rules consistent
with this Act for the following purposes,
namely:-
(a) for regulating the mode in which, and the
speed at which, rolling-stock used on the
railway is to be moved or propelled;
12. -
• (b) for providing for the accommodation and
convenience of passengers and regulating the
carriage of their luggage;
(c) for declaring what shall be deemed to be,
for the purposes of this Act, dangerous or
offensive goods, and for regulating the
carriage of such goods;
13. •
(d) for regulating the conditions on which the railway
administration will carry passengers suffering from
infectious or contagious disorders, and providing for
the disinfection of carriages which have been used by
such passengers;
(e) for providing for and regulating the duties of the
railway servants in relation to train operations;
(f) for regulating the terms and conditions on which
the railway administration will warehouse or retain
goods at any station on behalf of the consignee or
owner; and
14. -
• (g) generally, for regulating the travelling
upon, and the use, working and management
of, the railway.
(2) The rules made under sub-section (1) may
provide that any person committing a breach
of any of those rules, except those falling
under clause (e) of that sub-section, shall be
punished with fine which may extend to any
sum not exceeding fifty Taka
15. Railway Servants (Hours of
Employment) Rules, 1961
• Railway Servants (Hours of Employment) Rules, 1961 were
framed under the Indian Railways Act, 1890. Under Rule 3(1) f
the said Rules, the powers to declare employment of railway
servants as ‘Essentially Intermittent’ or ‘Continuous vests with
the head of railway administration
16. . Rule 4 of the said rules provides that:- If any question arises in
respect of a declaration made under rule 3, the matter shall
be referred to the Regional Labour Commissioner (C) whose
• decision subject to the provisions of sub-rule (2) shall be final.
17. -
• Any person aggrieved by the decision of the
RLC(C) may, before the expiry of 30 days from
the date on which the decisions of the RLC(C)
is communicated to him, prefer an appeal to
the Government whose decision thereon shall
be final.
•
• Under Rule 2 (d), ‘Government means the
Central Government in the Ministry of Labour’
18. Hours of Employment Regulations
• The hours of work, periodic rest and
overtime entitlement of all railway servants
(including casual workers) except those
employed in the workshops or on the ferries
are governed by the Hours of Employment
Regulations (H.E.R.).
19. -
• The genesis of the H.E.R. dates back to the Indian
Railways (Amendment) Act, 1930 which was
enacted to implement the provisions of
Washington Convention No. 1 of 1919, ratified
by the Government of India in 1921, and Geneva
Convention No. 14 of 1921 which was ratified by
the Government of India in 1923.
20. • In 1956, the Indian Railways Act was amended by
the introduction of Chapter VI-A and in 1961, the
Central Government framed rules under Section
71-E of the same Act and these rules were
published under the title "Railway Servants
(Hours of Employment) Rules, 1961".
21. -
• Thus the H.E.R. are a combination of the
provisions contained in the Indian Railways
Act and the subsidiary instructions framed
there under.
• For the purpose of hours of work, the
Railway employees are classified as
• " intensive ",
• " continuous ",
• " essentially intermittent“
• "excluded".
22. Supervisory staff
Ministry of labour shall a specified Railway
servant or class of railway servant who shall
be supervisory staff.
a) Railway servant hold position of
responsibility
b) Duties mainly of supervisory character
c) Free to adjust this hours of duties or work
during such hours
23. -
• The Hours of Employment Regulations were last reviewed
by the Railway Labour Tribunal, 1969, who made
recommendations regarding
• classification of workers,
• weekly, hours of rest,
• principles of averaging
• actual duty hours for the purpose of overtime payment,
etc.
• These recommendations were accepted in toto by
Government.
