STUDY OF LABOUR LAWS SPECIFIC TO IT INDUSTRY AND ITS AWARENESS AmONg EmPLOYEES

Abstract

I have completed my project titled “Study of labour laws specific to IT industry and its awareness among employees" after in depth analysis of employee behaviour and level of their awareness related to labour laws. I did primary data collection through questionnaire covering 50 people working in IT industry. I collected their views about laws that are existing and checked their awareness level. How much do they know about their company policies, are they aware about the laws, are they happy with the compensation given to them, are they happy with the number of working hours etc. I analyzed their views and interpreted their views in the report. I also used secondary data from various sources like internet, magazines, journals etc. to gather information about history of labour laws, existing laws. I concluded that the employees with more experience are aware about the laws but generally do not take action if these laws are exploited by the company. On other hand, young employees are not aware about such laws, but may form unions if they are exploited to extremes. After overall study, it was observed that mostly people were unsatisfied with wages in comparison to number of hours they worked.
