Bare Act

The Chhattisgarh Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) (Amendment) Act, 2017

This law updates regulations concerning worker rights in Chhattisgarh’s industrial sector. It expands the definition of an industrial establishment by increasing the employee count threshold from twenty to thirty and exempts micro enterprises to support small businesses. Additionally, the Act introduces stricter penalties for violating employer standing orders and establishes a system to "compound" minor criminal offenses, allowing for settlements before court proceedings begin. These changes aim to balance worker protections with business flexibility and efficient dispute resolution for state industries.
