Labour Law Advisory

Labour-law advisory is help in meeting the obligations an employer carries — provident fund, ESI, minimum wages, bonus, gratuity, contract labour, and the registrations and returns that go with them.

With the four new labour codes set to reshape the landscape, the firm also helps employers prepare for the transition.

Labour-law advisory covers the employer's compliance obligations, including:

• EPF and ESI registration, contributions, and returns
• Minimum wages, bonus, and gratuity compliance
• Contract labour and the related licences and registers
• Shop & Establishment and professional-tax obligations
• Readiness for the Wage, Industrial Relations, Social Security, and OSH codes

1. 01

   Assess obligations

   Map the labour laws that apply given your workforce and locations.

2. 02

   Review compliance

   Check current registrations, contributions, registers, and returns.

3. 03

   Advise & remediate

   Close gaps and set up a compliance calendar.

4. 04

   Stay current

   Update you as the labour codes and thresholds change.

PBT keeps your workforce compliance sound and ready for the new codes.

• A clear map of the labour laws that bind you
• Help with registrations, contributions, and returns
• A compliance calendar so nothing is missed
• Guidance on the transition to the new labour codes
• Scope, deliverables, and fees agreed in writing up front

• Which labour laws apply to my business?

  It depends on your headcount, wages, and activity. We assess which of the PF, ESI, wage, and contract-labour laws apply and from what threshold.

• Are the new labour codes in force?

  The four codes have been enacted and are being brought into force; rules and dates are being finalised. We advise on readiness and update you as they are notified.

• How long does it take?

  An initial compliance review takes a couple of weeks; ongoing compliance is then run to the calendar we set up.
