Purpose

Employer guidance preserved as part of the website migration.

This page retains the subject and practical employer focus of the original Sankhla article while placing it inside the new website design and navigation.

Because labour-law requirements can change through amendments, commencement notifications, state rules, circulars and judicial decisions, historical articles should be read together with the current statutory position.
