Employment and Labour
Indian terminations are decided by the documentation created long before the decision, not by the reason for it.
What we do
We advise Indian and international employers on the employment relationship from offer to exit. Employment contracts, secondment, consultancy and gig arrangements, and the classification risk in each. Handbooks and policies drafted to be enforceable rather than aspirational. Terminations, both individual and collective, including the standing orders position, the state-specific requirements and the notice, compensation and approval questions that vary considerably between states. Retrenchment, closure and transfer of undertaking. Industrial relations, union recognition and settlements. Disciplinary process and domestic enquiry, which is where employers usually lose. Sexual harassment compliance under the 2013 Act, including committee constitution, enquiry conduct and the reporting obligation. The labour codes, on which we advise as to the current commencement position rather than as to the position as announced, and as to what to do while it remains partial.
