Labour law compliance that protects your business and your people.
We make sure every central and state labour law requirement is met, so you can concentrate on your organisation's success rather than the fine print of labour law.
Where it goes wrong, and how we fix it.
Labour law compliance is complicated, and getting it wrong is costly.
India's labour laws span central and state legislation. They are amended often and interpreted differently from state to state. For many businesses this leads to the same problems.
- Missed deadlines and filings
PF, ESI, Professional Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, annual returns and registers pile up in different places.
- Confusion over the Labour Codes
Teams are unsure which rules apply now that the new Labour Codes are in force and state rules are still catching up.
- Contractor risk
As principal employer, you are accountable if a contractor fails to comply.
- Inspection and audit pressure
Weak documentation makes inspections difficult and can lead to fines and legal action.
- Unhappy employees
Payroll errors, wrong deductions and disputes lower morale and damage your name.
