How it generally works

Wages, minimum wages and bonus are now addressed in the Code on Wages, while gratuity, provident fund and insurance are addressed in the Code on Social Security, along with their rules.

Claims are generally made before the authorities designated under these laws — for example, the controlling authority for gratuity.

Keeping appointment letters, salary slips and bank records helps prove these claims.
