LABOR LAW COMPLIANCES

Today, India has surfaced as one of the most popular business destinations in the world. The impact of corporate culture on the society is so substantial that even the ordinary people prefer to set up their own business.

Therefore, to regulate the corporate sector, several amendments have been made in corporate laws of India from time to time. No matter whether the company is public or private; it has to adhere to the Indian corporate laws. In India, a company has to make a wide variety of compliances periodically. Labor Law Compliance is considered of great importance to any organization having a business place in India.

Labor Law is the body of law primarily focused on ensuring the protection of the rights of workers in India. It regulates employers, employees and trade unions through various compliances to secure the rights of the employees and labourat large.

The scope of labor compliance is not limited to filing returns and maintaining statutory deposits and records by the employer. In case of any prosecution, these records are to be produced as evidence under various statues. Also, if the company or employer fails to make the compliance, there are severe penalties prescribed by the law.

Indian Labor Law consists of various acts covering every possible aspect for the protection of labor rights. The applicability of law depends on the type of organization. Also, there are multiple laws which apply to employer and employee respectively.

Some of the Labor law compliance required by an organizations:

1. Registration under the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) act must be done by every establishment having 20 or more employees.
2. Establishments are required to comply under the Employees’ State Insurance Act.
3. A monthly contribution toward funds related to EPF and ESI is required by both employer and employee.
4. Registers are to be maintained, and a return is required to be filed periodically.
5. In case, the organization is a manufacturing unit, then it must carry-out all compliances provided under Factories Act, 1948.
