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
