Employment law, which includes service law, is a major component of Pakistani law and is contiguous with constitutional law and business law.
The scope of service/employment law is vast, covering both public-sector and private-sector employees.
Common matters our Chamber is involved in include:
1. Civil Servants Litigation
The law provides for a specific and separate mechanism for resolution of civil servant’s employment issues and disputes, including a departmental appeal/representation, an appeal before the Service Tribunal, and an appeal under Article 212 of the Constitution before the Supreme Court. While this is the general situation, professional advice about the precise merits of a cause can only be given after detailed assessment of facts.
2. Labor Law Litigation
Workmen and employers of workmen are also provided with a specific and separate mechanism for the resolution of their disputes through the Federal and Provincial labor laws, for example Employees’ Old-Age Benefits Act, 1976, Factories Act, 1934, Industrial Relations Act, 2012 and The Industrial And Commercial Employment (Standing Orders) Ordinance, 1968. Professional advice can be provided after a detailed assessment of facts and circumstances of each case.
3. General Employment Law
Individuals employed in the private sector and some employed in the public sector do not fall within any of the aforementioned categories and must, therefore, resort to alternate means for the resolution of their employment issues and disputes.
