Why Chennai Businesses need a labour law consultant

Chennai's growing business community -- which includes automobile manufacturing, ITES corridors, textiles and ports, as well as a growing number of startups -- is governed by multiple labour laws that overlap.

• Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act

• Tamil Nadu Factories Act Compliance requirements

• The Employees' Provident Fund Act (EPF), & Miscellaneous Provisions act

• Employees State Insurance Act

• The Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act

• Industrial Disputes Act

• The Payment of Gratuity Act

• Act on Bonus Payment

• Maternity Benefit Act

• POSH Act (Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act)

• Code of Wages, and Other New Labour Codes

Without expert assistance, it is difficult to keep up with the amendments and filing deadlines for these laws, as well as inspections and documentation.
