Employee Rights

Indian Law ensures that employees have rights in the workplace.

These rights are protected – you can’t be treated differently or worse because you have exercised one of your rights, such as:

• general workplace rights (including minimum wages and conditions such as leave);
• being able to take part in industrial activities (like joining a union);
• being free from discrimination;

Some of the actions that employers can’t take against you include:

• adverse action (eg dismissing you, treating you differently that others);
• coercion (pressuring you to do something);
• misrepresentation (telling you something that isn’t true);
• unequal pay for equal work (paying you less or more then someone else doing the same work)
