Understand It

What Is Employment & Labour Law Advisory?

A quick, plain-language explanation before the details.

In simple terms

Employment & labour law advisory is expert guidance that helps an employer follow India's workplace laws and reduce the risk of employee disputes and claims — from contracts and policies to disciplinary and termination processes.

Legally

It covers the four Labour Codes (Code on Wages 2019; Industrial Relations, Social Security and Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Codes 2020) and the laws currently in force — EPF, ESI, Payment of Gratuity, Payment of Bonus, Shops & Establishments (state), Maternity Benefit and the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) Act, 2013.

Governing authority

Employment and labour law is administered by the Ministry of Labour & Employment and its bodies (EPFO, ESIC) at the centre, and by state labour departments for Shops & Establishments and state-specific rules.

Validity

Advisory is ongoing — contracts, policies and compliance need review as the Labour Codes are notified and as your headcount and operations change.

Why It Matters

Why Employment & Labour Law Advisory is Important

Getting employment law right protects your business from disputes, penalties and reputational risk, and keeps your workplace fair and compliant. Here is why it matters.

  1. 01

    Watertight Employment Contracts

    Clear appointment letters and contracts — covering role, pay, notice, confidentiality and non-solicitation — reduce ambiguity and protect you if a dispute arises.

  2. 02

    POSH Compliance

    Employers with 10 or more employees must constitute an Internal Committee and follow the POSH Act 2013. We set up the policy, committee and process correctly.

  3. 03

    Stay Ahead of the Labour Codes

    The four Labour Codes reshape wages, social security, industrial relations and workplace safety. We keep your contracts and policies aligned as they roll out.

  4. 04

    Fair Disciplinary & Exits

    A documented, lawful disciplinary and termination process — show-cause, enquiry, notice — lowers the risk of wrongful-termination and reinstatement claims.

  5. 05

    Statutory Coverage

    EPF, ESI, Gratuity, Bonus, Maternity Benefit and Shops & Establishments obligations mapped to your headcount so nothing is missed.

  6. 06

    Protect Against Claims

    Sound policies, records and advice give you a strong footing if an employee raises a grievance, files a claim or sends a legal notice.

Choose a document group

Company & Workforce

About your business and staff
5 documents
  • Company / entity registration details
  • Number of employees and locations (states)
  • Existing offer / appointment letters, if any
  • Current HR policies or handbook, if any
  • Organisation structure and key roles

POSH applies at 10 employees

The POSH Act, 2013 requires every employer with 10 or more employees to constitute an Internal Committee and follow the prescribed redressal process. We set this up correctly.

Shops & Establishments is state-specific

The Shops & Establishments Act is a state law — obligations differ by state. Multi-state employers need each location mapped separately.

Labour Codes are being rolled out

The four Labour Codes consolidate earlier laws. Until fully notified, current laws continue to apply — we keep your documents aligned as the position changes.

Confidential & employer-side

Employment matters are sensitive. Everything you share is handled confidentially, and our advice is on the employer's side.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What does employment & labour law advisory cover?
It covers the full employment lifecycle for an employer — the four Labour Codes and current laws (EPF, ESI, Gratuity, Bonus, Shops & Establishments, Maternity Benefit and the POSH Act 2013), drafting employment contracts and appointment letters, HR policies and handbooks, POSH compliance, disciplinary and termination processes, and handling employee disputes. The aim is to keep you compliant and protect the business against claims.
What are the four Labour Codes?
The four Codes consolidate India's earlier labour laws: the Code on Wages, 2019; the Industrial Relations Code, 2020; the Code on Social Security, 2020; and the Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions (OSH) Code, 2020. Until they are fully notified, the existing laws they replace continue to apply. We keep your contracts and policies aligned as the position changes.
When does the POSH Act apply to my business?
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (POSH) Act, 2013 applies to every workplace with 10 or more employees. Such employers must adopt a POSH policy, constitute an Internal Committee, run a redressal process and file an annual report. We set all of this up correctly.
Do I really need written employment contracts?
Yes. Clear, written employment contracts and appointment letters — covering role, pay, notice period, confidentiality, non-solicitation and exit — reduce ambiguity and give you a strong position if a dispute arises. Hiring on verbal terms is a common and avoidable risk.
Can you draft our HR policies and employee handbook?
Yes. We prepare HR policies and an employee handbook tailored to your business — covering conduct, leave, attendance, IT and communication, anti-harassment, grievance, disciplinary and exit processes — aligned to the applicable laws and your state.
How do you help with terminations and disciplinary action?
We guide a lawful, documented process — show-cause notice, domestic enquiry where needed, proper notice or notice pay, and a clean full & final settlement — so the action is defensible and the risk of a wrongful-termination or reinstatement claim is reduced.
What statutory registrations should an employer have?
Depending on headcount and activity, an employer may need EPF and ESI registration, Shops & Establishments registration in each state of operation, and must comply with Payment of Gratuity, Payment of Bonus and Maternity Benefit obligations. We map exactly what applies to you.
Is Shops & Establishments compliance the same across India?
No. The Shops & Establishments Act is a state law, so registration and compliance differ by state — including working hours, leave, holidays and record-keeping. Multi-state employers need each location assessed separately, which we handle.
Can you help if an employee has raised a dispute or sent a legal notice?
Yes. We advise on employee grievances, claims and legal notices — assessing your position, preparing a response strategy, weighing settlement against contest, and helping you preserve the records that support your case.
Do you offer ongoing advisory or only one-off work?
Both. You can engage us for a specific task — a contract, a policy set, POSH setup or a single matter — or on an ongoing advisory basis for day-to-day employment questions and document updates as the Labour Codes roll out.
Is the advice on the employer's side?
Yes. Our employment & labour law advisory is designed to protect and support the employer — keeping you compliant, reducing dispute risk and giving you a defensible position, while remaining fair and lawful.
How much does labour law advisory cost?
Fees depend on scope — a single contract, a full HR policy set, POSH setup or a live dispute differ significantly. The first consultation is free, and we confirm a transparent, all-inclusive quote after a quick scope check, with no hidden charges.
What are the main employment law compliances an employer must follow?
Key employment law compliances include issuing written employment contracts, meeting EPF, ESI, Professional Tax and Minimum Wages obligations, paying Gratuity and statutory Bonus, complying with the Maternity Benefit Act, registering under Shops & Establishments, and setting up POSH with an Internal Committee at 10+ employees. Registers and returns must also be maintained, and obligations vary with headcount and state.
How will the new Labour Codes affect my employment contracts and policies?
The four Labour Codes introduce a uniform definition of "wages" that caps excluded allowances at 50% of total pay, standardise appointment letters, and change rules on working hours, leave, gratuity eligibility and social security. As the Codes are notified, appointment letters, CTC structures and HR policies need to be revised, which is why we keep your documents review-ready.
Does the Maternity Benefit Act apply alongside ESI?
It can. Women employees covered under ESI generally receive maternity benefit through the ESI scheme, while those outside ESI coverage are entitled to paid maternity leave directly from the employer under the Maternity Benefit Act 1961 (26 weeks for the first two children). We help you determine which applies to each employee and stay compliant with both.
Can you help classify workers correctly as employees or contractors?
Yes. Misclassifying an employee as a consultant or contractor to avoid PF, ESI or gratuity is a common and risky mistake that can trigger back-dues, interest and disputes. We review the nature of the engagement — control, exclusivity, integration and payment terms — and advise on correct classification and documentation.
What HR policies should every employer have in place?
At a minimum an employer should have a POSH/anti-harassment policy, a leave and attendance policy, a code of conduct, an IT and communication policy, a grievance-redressal policy, and a disciplinary and exit policy — all aligned to the applicable central and state labour laws. We draft a tailored employee handbook covering these for your business.
