Know your Statutory Obligations with Recent major changes in Laws

In India, the Federal structure of Constitution, paves way for both Central and State Governments to enact labour legislation. This has resulted in enactment of plethora of labour legislation. A Business Establishment may have to comply to as many as 44 Labour and Industrial Legislations for due compliance under these laws. Many of these laws are separate in each state and it becomes difficult for a business entity, having business stake in multiple states, to adopt and comply to these legislations.

Moreover, the Labour and Employment laws become more complex, to understand its applicability based on number of employees and their wage ceiling. The provisions within each Statute also differ based on number of workmen employed by a particular industry.

Therefore, it becomes imperative for a good complying organisation and a knowledgeable HR professional to understand and know its compliance requirement and obligations, to comply to all these Labour and Employment Laws, in letter and spirit.

Present program intends to update the HR Heads/ Executives/ Finance Heads/ Business Heads/ Manpower outsourcing organisations to be aware of the applicable Labour & Employment legislations and recent changes and updates, for prompt implementation to avoid any hassle in legal compliance.
