Common Questions About Labour & Employment Law

Is a written employment contract legally required in India?

While not always legally mandatory, a written employment contract is strongly advisable for every employer. It clearly defines the terms of employment, protects both parties, and significantly reduces the risk of disputes. Without a written contract, courts may imply terms that are unfavourable to the employer. We recommend all businesses have comprehensive, legally compliant employment agreements in place.

What is the POSH Act and who does it apply to?

The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 — commonly called the POSH Act — applies to all employers with 10 or more employees. It mandates the constitution of an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), a written anti-harassment policy, and regular awareness training. Non-compliance can result in fines and cancellation of business licences.

Can an employer terminate an employee without notice?

Termination without notice may be permissible in cases of gross misconduct, but must still follow due process — including a domestic enquiry, show-cause notice, and opportunity to respond. Summary dismissal without proper procedure can expose employers to wrongful termination claims before Labour Courts. We advise on legally defensible termination procedures for every situation.

What is the difference between a Labour Court and an Industrial Tribunal?

Labour Courts handle disputes relating to the rights of individual workmen — such as wrongful dismissal, recovery of dues, and disciplinary matters. Industrial Tribunals adjudicate disputes of a broader industrial nature — such as retrenchment, closure, and changes in service conditions. We represent clients before both forums across Delhi and other states.

What should an employer do when served with a conciliation notice?

A conciliation notice from the Labour Commissioner requires your immediate attention and careful legal handling. Do not ignore it or respond without legal advice — admissions made during conciliation can be used against you. Contact us as soon as you receive the notice and we will guide you through the process.

Do you advise employees as well as employers?

Yes. We represent both employers and employees — advising employees on wrongful termination, non-payment of dues, POSH complaints, forced resignations, and severance negotiations. Every employment dispute has two sides, and we bring the same rigour and commitment to both.
