Abstract

An indemnity clause is an essential aspect of any contract, but it is undoubtedly the most important clause in a labour and employment contract. A well-drafted contract will always have an indemnity clause. In labour and employment contracts, an indemnity clause can often be one-sided, if it is present at all. Labour contracts are a rare sight, and in their occurrence, they are generally Labour-centric, even though not implemented very well. Employment contracts are a must, and so are the indemnity clauses present in them. However, they are extremely employee-centric. Therefore, in this research paper, I will first explain what the terms, indemnity, labour, and employee mean. I will go on to analyze the concept of indemnity, followed by analyzing the implementation of indemnity in labour disputes and employment bonds. Lastly, I will unravel the complexities of indemnity clauses in labour disputes and employment contracts, before giving my recommendations and opinions.
