Employment Law

• In India, there are several employment-related laws and legislations which all establishments have to follow. These laws aim to protect the interests of both employers and employees. Therefore, adhering to these regulations is necessary, as any deviation will lead to compliance issues and massive penalties.
• The Indian Constitution grants the Central and state governments the powers to enact laws to protect the employees and foster a professional work environment. Based on the industry, nature of the work, number of employees in the company, location, and more, there are various legislations like the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 (ID Act), Factories Act 1948 (Factories Act), and Shops and Establishment Acts in relevant states (S&E Act).
• As a legal team we not only advise and guide on the above laws but also guide in drafting and enforcement of employment contracts, compliance mechanism of employment (including contract labour) rules and regulations as well as assisting setting up of workplace governance (safety and ethical).
