The Essence

the genesis

The practice of paying bonus in India originated during First World War when certain textile mills granted 10% of wages as war bonus to their workers in 1917. This led to workers in other establishments demanding the same.

Soon, a commission was set up by the Government of India to consider the question of payment of bonus based on profits to employees employed in establishments. Hence, the Payment of Bonus 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!
