We assist clients in the preparation of service rules, structuring of compensation packages, drafting of employment contracts, non-compete and confidentiality agreements and termination notices to negotiating collective bargaining contracts.
The firm's labour/employment practice also includes advising on contentious labour/employment matters, Draft Employment Standing Orders and advice on Employee Provident Fund (EPF) under the Employee Provident Fund Act, Gratuity Act, etc.
Labour Laws and Regulations
In India, we have multiple Labour & Industrial laws related with Legislations Governing the Industrial Relations; the Wages; the Working Hours, Conditions of Service and Employment; the Equality and Empowerment of Women; the Deprived and Disadvantaged Sections of the Society and the Social Security.
These laws are also important because they enable businesses to devote more of their focus to productivity and profitability rather than giving constant energy and resources to problem-solving.
