Shop and Establishment Act

The Shop and Establishment Act in India is a set of labour laws aimed at regulating the working conditions and rights of employees working in shops, commercial establishments, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, and other similar businesses. Each state in India has its own version of the Act, which covers a wide range of provisions, including working hours, rest intervals, weekly holidays, overtime pay, payment of wages, and leave entitlements. The Act also focuses on ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of workers, and it requires establishments to be registered with the local authorities. By providing legal safeguards and regulating employment terms, the Shop and Establishment Act ensures that workers are treated fairly and that businesses operate in a structured and compliant manner.
