Labour19477 sections

The Industrial Disputes (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2020, modifies the central Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically for the state of Punjab. It introduces a three-year limitation period for workmen to raise disputes regarding discharge, dismissal, or retrenchment, though extensions are possible with valid reasons. The Act raises the threshold for industrial establishments subject to specific retrenchment and closure regulations to 300 workmen, while allowing the government to lower this to 100. It also mandates additional compensation of three months' average pay for retrenchment or closure and formally defines "go slow" tactics as an unfair labour practice.
