Abstract
There is enhanced recognition of monetary rights of the workers in contemporary jurisdictions but this doesn’t always demonstrate inflated enjoyment of the rights on ground. With this background, this article ventures upon the dogmatic analysis of the parameters laid down by the legislature pertaining to the payment of bonus in Pakistan. It is true that the provisions seem to be pro-labour but it is also true that they fall far short of establishing a friendly atmosphere and are utterly bemused. For this purpose, the article has been bifurcated into three parts. Part first gives historical development of payment of bonus in pre-portioned India; part second relates to contours of bonus before the incorporation of Standing Order No.10-C and third part encompasses different aspects of bonus in post insertion of Standing Order No.10-C. Consequent upon the analysis of the legislative and judicial context, the paper argues that necessary amendments should be incorporated in the law relating to the payment of bonus to ensure the prompt enjoyment of this right in Pakistan.
