Why do HR Managers need to worry about the Labour Codes?
Most day-to-day tasks for HR managers require legal knowledge and skills, whether it is hiring employees, consultants, senior executives, or contract labour, working with contracts, salary payments, social security benefits, labour compliances, taking disciplinary action, or responding to statutory authorities.
In the manufacturing sector, handling industrial disputes, settlements & negotiations with union leaders, factory-related compliances, dealing with accidents, and a host of other situations require legal skills.
HR Managers have a key role to play in the success of a business and their mistakes can cost their organizations dearly.
