Sunrise Textiles Ltd wants to place its labour statutes into the traditional classification used in labour law studies. It sorts the Payment of Gratuity Act, the Employees' State Insurance Act, and the Maternity Benefit Act. Under the usual classification of labour laws, which heading best fits all three?

These three Acts fall under social security and welfare legislation, because each gives workers financial protection against contingencies such as retirement, sickness or maternity. They are not industrial relations laws, which deal with trade unions, standing orders and disputes, nor merely wage-regulation or safety laws.

Explanation

Gratuity, ESI and maternity benefit provide financial protection against contingencies such as retirement, sickness and childbirth. These are classed as social security legislation. Industrial relations laws deal with disputes and trade unions, which these Acts do not.
