Employment and Labour Law

Employment law, also referred to as labour law, is a crucial area of legal practice that governs the rights, duties, and obligations of both employers and employees in the workplace. It addresses a wide range of employment-related matters including recruitment, wages, working hours, health and safety, workplace discrimination, termination, benefits, and employee protections. This area of law is essential for maintaining fairness, accountability, and dignity in professional environments.

In simpler terms, employment law ensures that workers are treated fairly, that they are paid properly, work in safe conditions, and are protected from unjust treatment or exploitation. It also provides clear rules for employers to follow, helping create a balanced and productive workplace that upholds both human rights and organizational integrity.

In Pakistan, a comprehensive legal framework supports employment rights, including several key statutes that define and regulate the responsibilities of employers and entitlements of workers. These include the Industrial Relations Act, 2012, Industrial & Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968, Factories Act, 1934, Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Act, 1976, Minimum Wages Ordinance, 1961, and the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, among others. Together, these laws aim to ensure decent working conditions, minimum wage enforcement, and social security protections for workers across various sectors.
