Labour Law Advisory, Compliance Management and Audits

Compliance with Labour and Industrial Laws has gathered enormous momentum in the last few years. Especially compliance with respect to employees employed through Contractors and off-roll employees is getting more challenging because the Law recognizes principal employer as the one who is responsible in case the contractor fails to comply. This area has assumed significant importance from a risk management perspective considering the legal implications and reputational risks attached with non-compliance. Moreover, ‘Labour Laws’ is a very specialized area, requiring additional managerial attention over and above the routine internal audit function.

A multi-locational organisation deals with several hundred Labour Compliances in a month such as Licenses, Registrations, Consent Orders, Permissions, Renewals, among others. Additionally, central & state governments legislate on all labour matters. Different states have implemented the rules in their own ways leading to differences in formats, forms, and due dates, among others. Managing Labour Compliances across the organisations length and breadth needs deep expertise of the law along with resources and the technology platform.
