Quick Summary

An employee in central government service is seeking advice on whether they can approach the Labour Commissioner or Court regarding changes to their service conditions made four years ago without following proper procedures. Despite continuous representations, management has not changed its stance. The advice given suggests a two-year limitation period, but notes that ongoing communication with management could potentially extend this if the last communication was within the two-year window. It also asks if the recognised union initially raised an industrial dispute regarding the changes.

The limitation to approach labor commissioner with your grievances is two years, but since you had been in regular touch with the management for relief, you can make sure that the last date of communication is less than two years before approaching the labor commissioner
