At askurlawyer.com, we stay ahead of the evolving employment and labor law landscape in India, navigating the transition from a fragmented system of over 29 central laws to the consolidated four labor codes enacted between 2019 and 2020. These codes—the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Code on Social Security, and Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code—are designed to streamline compliance, protect workers’ rights, and foster business flexibility. Our legal experts understand the complexities of these reforms and assist clients in adapting their human resource policies to remain compliant while promoting workplace harmony and productivity.
Well-drafted employment contracts form the foundation of employer-employee relationships. We help businesses create contracts that comply with the latest labor regulations, clearly defining roles, responsibilities, remuneration, benefits, and termination terms. Our team ensures compliance with statutory requirements such as minimum wages, equal remuneration, social security benefits, gratuity, and maternity leave under the new codes. We also advise on state-specific Shops and Establishments Acts and sector-specific laws to ensure full legal adherence, minimizing risks of costly disputes and penalties.
The Industrial Relations Code underlines the importance of maintaining harmonious workplace relations. askurlawyer.com advises trade unions, employers, and employees on lawful collective bargaining, strikes, lockouts, and dispute settlement mechanisms. Our experienced labor lawyers represent clients in industrial tribunals and labor courts, mediating disputes and litigating where necessary to ensure compliance with lawful procedures. We assist organizations in developing robust industrial relations policies that balance business continuity with worker protection, avoiding costly industrial conflicts and enhancing workforce cooperation.
Occupational safety and health are critical priorities under the Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code. askurlawyer.com guides employers in implementing comprehensive health and safety measures, conducting risk assessments, and ensuring statutory compliance for factories, establishments, and construction sites. We advise on welfare provisions such as canteens, restrooms, drinking water, and medical facilities. Our legal support includes managing inspections, handling non-compliance notices, and defending businesses in prosecution cases related to workplace accidents or unsafe conditions, thus safeguarding employees’ wellbeing and organizational reputation.
Social security benefits, including provident fund, insurance, maternity benefits, and gratuity, are governed under the Code on Social Security. Our legal team assists employers in designing benefit schemes compliant with these codes, optimizing contributions, and fulfilling reporting obligations. We represent clients before labor commissioners and appellate authorities in dispute resolution related to provident fund claims, ESIC issues, and welfare fund compliance. By aligning employment benefits with statutory requirements, askurlawyer.com helps clients attract and retain talent while avoiding legal pitfalls.
Termination of employment must be conducted transparently and lawfully to mitigate litigation risks. We advise employers on fair dismissal procedures, retrenchment compensation, and severance packages in accordance with Indian labor laws and the Industrial Relations Code. askurlawyer.com supports both employers and employees in cases involving wrongful termination, unfair labor practices, and reinstatement claims. We assist in drafting lawful separation agreements and settlement deeds. Our goal is to ensure that workforce restructuring processes minimize disruption while respecting legal protections, maintaining goodwill and compliance.
