Professional Ethics

Ethics discusses the criteria of right and good, derived from the Greek word "Ethos" which means customs, character, usages, or habits.
Ethics is the area of philosophy that investigates the principles governing human actions in terms of their goodness, badness, rightness, and wrongness, duties, and obligations.

Origin and Benefits of Ethics

Ethics enables a person to have clarity of concepts and precision of expressions.
Philosophy disciplines the mind in such a way that it is able to understand every other discipline of knowledge.
Philosophy enters practical life as well, enabling a person to think carefully and clearly about important issues.

Grievance Redressal Committee

As per section 9C of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, every employer employing at least 20 workmen is required to set up a Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC) for resolution of disputes arising out of grievances of the workmen.
The draft Industrial Relations Code, 2019 proposes that the industrial establishment should have one or more GRC to resolve disputes arising out of grievances of individual workers relating to non-employment, terms of employment, or conditions of service.

Works Committee

The labour authorities may under section 3 of the IDA, order an establishment having at least 100 workmen to set up a Works Committee (WC).
The WC is required to promote measures for securing and preserving good relations between the employer and its workmen, and to that extent, comment upon matters of common interest or concern.

Employee Rights

All employees are entitled to certain fundamental duties and rights during the course of their employment.
These basic rights are proportional to an employer's duty to make the workplace as comfortable and employee-friendly as possible.

Seven basic employee's rights:
- Contract of employment
- Payslip
- Minimum wage
- Breaks and rest
