Introduction
Under the OSH Code, an employer has to mandatorily issue a letter of appointment in a format that has been prescribed by the government to every employee. Thus, even if an employee has already been issued an appointment letter, prior to the new laws coming into effect, then a new appointment letter will have to be issued within three months of effective date of new law.
Hence, it is imperative for employers to identify and understand the changes required under the Labour Code, be in a state of readiness to ensure compliance, and also keep their employees informed.
Employers are exposed to a number of legal and reputational risks resulting from wrongful termination, or not following due process.Termination of employment, though unpleasant, is still a part of an employer’s responsibility. And, every employer has to terminate an employee without inviting any legal ramifications.
This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal framework governing appointment and termination of employment in India and to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to comply with Indian labour laws and regulations.
