Labour law: Chapter overrides inconsistent laws but preserves workers' entitlement to more favourable benefits in retrenchment and lay-off. The Chapter's provisions on lay-off, retrenchment and closure override any inconsistent law or standing order, while preserving a worker's entitlement to more favourable benefits granted by any other law, award, contract or instrument; settlement mechanisms for industrial disputes under State law remain unaffected, but rights and liabilities concerning lay-off and retrenchment are governed by the Chapter.
