Section 25S of IDA : Section 25S: Certain Provisions Of Chapter Va To Apply To An Industrial Establishment To Which This Chapter Applies

Explanation using Example

Imagine a large textile manufacturing company in Rajasthan decides to restructure its operations due to financial difficulties. As part of this restructuring, the company plans to lay off a significant number of its workers. However, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, specifically Section 25S, requires the company to adhere to certain provisions from Chapter VA when conducting these layoffs.

For instance, the company must follow the criteria outlined in Section 25G, which mandates the principle of "last in, first out" for retrenchment, meaning those who were hired last should be laid off first. Additionally, under Section 25H, if the company decides to hire again within a year, it has an obligation to give preference to the workers who were laid off.

The amendment from Rajasthan further clarifies that these provisions also apply to establishments that fall under sub-section (1-A) of Section 25, ensuring that even more workers in the state are protected under these rules during restructuring.
