Employment and POSH

Employment obligations in India are moving from four consolidated codes into force alongside statutes that still apply, and POSH compliance carries reporting duties that reach the Board report. We advise on the documents, the committees and the investigations.

WHAT WE DO
• POSH policy, Internal Committee constitution and annual reporting
• POSH inquiry conduct, records and section 21 and 22 obligations
• Employment contracts, restrictive covenants and section 27 analysis
• Labour code transition mapping against subsisting statutes
• Social security, EPF, ESI, gratuity, bonus and maternity benefit
• Contract labour arrangements and principal employer exposure
• Misconduct, domestic inquiry, suspension and termination process
• Workplace investigations beyond POSH, including fraud and whistleblower complaints
• Gig and platform worker obligations including state legislation
• Accessibility obligations under the RPwD Act, 2016
