With over 200 state laws and 40 central laws, alongside the recent introduction of four comprehensive Labour Codes, India's employment legal framework stands as one of the most intricate globally. This complexity is further amplified by the federal structure, where both central and state governments have the authority to legislate on labour matters, creating a multi-layered system of regulations that often makes it difficult for HR leaders to comply with.

The program will also delve deep into State-specific labour laws, helping you navigate the intricate compliance requirements across different Indian states and union territories.
Furthermore, this program will develop your expertise in creating robust HR policies that are aligned with Indian labour legislation. You will discover how to manage complex industrial relations scenarios as well as handle employee grievances, disputes, terminations and dismissals within the legal framework. Additionally, you will discover how to conduct workplace investigations, manage disciplinary proceedings, and ensure compliance with multiple regulatory authorities. This program will empower you to understand and apply critical employment law principles while integrating best practices into your organization’s HR management strategy to ensure compliance and foster a legally secure work environment.
Upon successful completion of the program, you will be awarded the Certification in India HR Employment Laws and Labour Codes.
