Employment law in India is a mix of central and state legislation—Industrial Disputes Act, Shops and Establishments Acts, Payment of Wages Act, Employees' Provident Fund Act, and dozens of others. Whether you're an employer dealing with a labour dispute or an employee fighting wrongful termination, understanding which law applies and what remedies are available makes a difference.
We handle both sides—advising companies on compliance, defending them in Labour Court proceedings, and representing employees in termination disputes, wage claims, and discrimination cases. Labour law in India still leans toward employee protection, so employers need to be careful about how they handle terminations and disciplinary actions.
If you've been fired without proper cause, denied your dues, or faced discrimination at work, Indian labour laws offer remedies. Depending on your employment status and the nature of your complaint, you might file a case before the Labour Court, approach the Labour Commissioner, or pursue civil remedies.
Hiring, managing, and terminating employees in India requires navigating multiple labour laws. Small procedural mistakes—improper termination notices, failure to follow standing orders, skipping domestic inquiries—can lead to costly litigation and reinstatement orders from Labour Courts.
When industrial disputes can't be settled through conciliation, they go to Labour Courts or Industrial Tribunals. These forums handle wrongful termination cases, retrenchment disputes, and other matters under the Industrial Disputes Act. Proceedings can take years, and reinstatement with back wages is a real possibility if termination procedures weren't followed properly.
Employment in India involves multiple statutory compliances. Missing registrations or filings can lead to penalties and prosecution. We help businesses stay compliant:
Employment disputes affect livelihoods. For employees, losing a job without proper compensation can be devastating. For employers, a single Labour Court judgment ordering reinstatement with full back wages can cost lakhs. Getting employment law right—whether you're hiring, firing, or fighting a termination—requires knowing the procedures, understanding the risks, and having experienced counsel.
We've handled Labour Court cases, EPF disputes, wrongful termination claims, and compliance advisory for companies across industries. If you're dealing with an employment issue, reach out.
