How are employment-related complaints dealt with?
India

Answer ... Any employment-related complaint must be made in writing to the prescribed authority. Upon receipt of the complaint, the jurisdictional authority will summon the employer to appear before it and file such replies or documents as may be required. Both the employer and the employee will be given an opportunity to prove their case and put the relevant evidence on record. Based on the evidence available on record and the arguments of both parties, the authority will issue its final order.
