This Act updates commercial labor regulations governing employers and workers in shops and business establishments across Manipur. It establishes a mandatory framework requiring all commercial establishments to register annually with government officers, notify authorities of business changes, and report closures. To protect workers, the law defines a child as anyone under fourteen years old, mandates direct payment of wages in valid currency at or above minimum wage standards, and ensures workers receive fair severance compensation upon discharge. Additionally, it applies formal dispute settlement mechanisms to resolve workplace conflicts, ensuring clearer accountability, fairer working conditions, and stronger legal oversight.
