Employment (HR) Policies/Practices and Compliance Audit

Employment (HR) Policies/Practices and Compliance Audit 

KEY OUTCOMES

• HR-related decisions were taken through a decision-making matrix and thus consistently applied across the business, saving management time and reducing ambiguity when communicating with the rest of the team.

• The HR Audit document became the list of projects and initiatives that were scheduled to be completed in order of importance to the business to ensure legal and best practice compliance.

• HR system was sourced, handbooks and policies were introduced, employment contracts were updated and rolled out, governance system was developed, and all I relations issues were resolved.

• We identified a potential Claim that could be raised from the PF department amounting to 25 crores (approx.) and a risk mitigation and remediation plan was implemented

The Company

Medium-sized IT /Software service provider.

The Problem

The business had recently experienced growth, which necessitated the hiring of a large number of additional staff members quickly. The company's current

HR procedures could not support the growth, which led to many HR Area-related problems/ challenges.

The business lacked the in-house expertise necessary to recognize /identify and implement the improvements that were needed for the HR practices and procedures.

Our Approach

To better understand the business's goals in the short, medium, and long terms as well as the existing HR processes, we spoke with the senior management team.

We looked at the problems they had with HR practices & policies due to which leadership was required to spend a huge amount of time handling / managing People and process issues.

Actions

• We identified the essential processes and policies that were required as a minimum and put these processes in place immediately to ensure smooth functioning &legal compliance and resolve the current issues

• Developed a detailed report highlighting the good areas and the areas of concern, including longer-term considerations to ensure that the business achieved its goals. The report used a traffic light system:

1. Green to identify areas that were fit for the purpose

2. Amber indicated areas that would benefit the business if these actions took place

3. Red highlighted areas that required immediate attention.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Litigation Law in India - Kanchan Khatana and Associates

 Litigation

While employment litigation was not particularly common a few years ago, the situation is rapidly changing in India. In employment lawsuit issues, we have represented a number of clients. Advising clients on litigation strategy, drafting and issuing legal notices, responding to legal notices, drafting claim documents, representing clients before labour courts and high courts, and coordinating with local counsel to pursue litigation in the appropriate courts across India are all part of our services.

Litigation and ADR

Corporate litigation differs from most other forms of lawsuits in that it is a risky venture. Corporate litigation is more than just a case of one company suing another. It also encompasses any legal processes involving a firm or corporation, as well as efforts used to avoid litigation as well as litigating and resolving commercial disputes.

We offer a well-developed Litigation and ADR Practice Group with seasoned management and o associates and litigators that aid clients with strategic decision-making in litigation and ADR cases. The skilled attorneys with in-house advocacy knowledge serve clients in a variety of forums across the country, including the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, several High Courts, and Tribunals.

We have gained an in-depth understanding of many law topics as a result of our experience across various practice groups. Commercial disputes, recovery processes, and property disputes are the emphasis of the Practice Group. Our extensive expertise has allowed us to obtain a thorough understanding of a variety of legal issues. Commercial disputes, recovery processes, property disputes, violation of intellectual property rights, constitutional issues, service issues, banking claims, insolvency, white-collar crimes, and other conflicts.
