What is Industrial Disputes Act?

India's primary legislation governing the investigation and settlement of industrial disputes between employers and workers, covering layoffs, retrenchment, closures, strikes, and lockouts in industrial establishments.

Why it matters in hiring

Industrial Disputes Act comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
