Injuries may be forgiven, but not forgotten
Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923, Employees’ Compensation (Venue of Proceedings) Rules, 1996, and Employees’ Compensation (Transfer of Money) Rules, 1935
The Essence
the genesis
It was found that labourers were increasingly being exposed to the dangers associated with more advanced machinery. Prior to this the employer would only take care of the employee in the event of accidents occuring while traveling to and from work. It made sense to have a mechanism whereby employees could be provided relief without having to go through the time consuming and expensive court process. Hence, the Employees’ Compensation Act

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!
