A Study on the Perception and Awareness Level of Employees Regarding Labour Laws

Abstract

In order to safeguard employee rights and advance ethical workplace practices, labour regulations are essential. Employers, workers and trade unions are governed by these rules, which guarantee fair treatment, secure working condition and the defence of workers rights. However, employee’s knowledge and comprehension of their legal rights are crucial to the efficiency of these regulatons. This study uses a quantitative approach that compines survey and interviews to investigate how employees perceive and are aware of labour regulations. The results show notable gaps in knowledge, with variations depending on industry type, education and work experience. In order to bridge these knowledge gaps, the report highlights the need for enhanced legal literacy programs, employer-led initiatives and legislative measures.
