Government service aur private job dono “employment” ke label ke under aate hain, lekin legal protection ka level kaafi alag hota hai.
Government servants ke service conditions statutes, service rules, constitutional protections (like Article 311 type) se governed hote hain. Unko dismiss/penalise karne se pehle detailed procedure follow karna padta hai – charge-sheet, enquiry, representation, reasoned order. Arbitrary action judicial review ke under strike down ho sakta hai.
Private sector me, employment largely contract + labour laws se governed hota hai. Company policies, appointment letters, standing orders – yeh sab important hotte hain. Job security comparatively kam hoti hai; lekin retrenchment, closure, unfair labour practices ke against bhi statutory safeguards exist karte hain (workman category ke liye specially).
Promotion, transfer, pension, disciplinary action – sarkari employees ke liye often tribunal/High Court route hota hai; private employees ke liye labour court, civil court, ya sometimes arbitration.
Job choose karte waqt sirf salary nahi, service law framework bhi long-term stability decide karta hai.
