Labour20209 sections

This Act amends the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 in Goa to update labor dispute procedures. It shortens the time limit for workers to file complaints about unfair dismissal or termination to one year, though the state government can allow exceptions. The law also increases the notice period required before retrenching workers from 15 days to 45 days. Additionally, it expands the rules for retrenchment compensation to smaller factories with as few as 100 workers if needed to maintain peace. Finally, it allows employers to pay fines to resolve certain legal violations instead of facing prosecution, with fines based on worker wages.
