The Essence

the genesis

Small-scale industries found it economically unfeasible or unviable to undertake all activities themselves and therefore engaged workers hired through contractors. These workers belonged to the unorganized sector, lacked bargaining power, had little or no social security and were often engaged in hazardous occupations
The primary intent was to abolish this system, however, recognizing the need and inevitability in an uncertain business environment, where it cannot be abolished, an attempt has been to regulate it. Hence, the Contract Labour Act

Discrimination. Its stops with you, if not you, then who?

We Help You Every Step Of The Way

Let’s face it! HR Policies need to be designed keeping the industry sector, business requirement and the needs of the workforce in mind. A one size fits all approach does not work when it comes to writing a number of policies.

On the other hand, labour laws require that companies adhere to various statutory compliances, but are difficult for the lay person to comprehend. Why stress over them. Leave the heavy lifting to us!
