What does Section 17 A of The Employee's Compensation Act, 1923 deal with ?
Explanation
Section 17A was inserted into The Employee's Compensation Act, 1923 by the Employee's Compensation (Amendment) Act, 2017. This section mandates that every employer must inform the employee of their rights to compensation under the Act at the time of their employment. The information must be provided in writing as well as through electronic means, in English, Hindi, or the official language of the area, ensuring it is understood by the employee. This amendment was introduced to ensure that workers are aware of their legal entitlements in case of injury or accident. In contrast, Section 16 deals with returns as to compensation, and Section 19 deals with the reference to Commissioners for settling disputes.
