This Act, consisting of 25 sections completed by one Schedule, establishes the Punjab Restriction on Employment of Children. IT specifies that an occupier shall not employ or permit a child to work in the establishment. An occupier shall not employ or permit an adolescent to perform any hazardous work in the establishment. The Government shall, by notification, constitute a Committee to be called the Provincial Committee on Child Labour to advise the Government for appropriate legislative, administrative and other measures for the eradication of child labour and, subject to Article 11 of the Constitution, to propose the minimum age for purposes of employment in the Province.
