  2. As an employer in India, it is essential to be aware of the legal issues surrounding the workplace. The following are some of the legal issues in the workplace that employers should be familiar with Employment Contracts Employers must have a written employment contract that outlines the terms and conditions of employment, including the employee's role, salary, benefits, and termination provisions.

  3. Minimum Wages The Minimum Wages Act requires employers to pay employees a minimum wage, which varies by state and industry. Workplace Safety The Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code set regulations that employers must follow to ensure a safe workplace. This includes providing employees with protective equipment, training employees on workplace hazards, and keeping the workplace free from hazardous conditions.

  4. Sexual Harassment The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act requires employers to establish an internal complaints committee to investigate and resolve complaints of sexual harassment. Maternity Leave The Maternity Benefit Act provides for maternity leave of up to 26 weeks and requires employers to provide female employees with other benefits, such as nursing breaks. Social Security The Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act require employers to contribute to the provident fund, which provides social security benefits to employees.

To ensure compliance with these legal issues in the workplace, employers should take the following steps: • Create and implement policies that prohibit discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in the workplace. • Develop and maintain a safe and healthy work environment, including regular training on workplace safety and compliance with regulations. • Establish an internal complaints committee to investigate and resolve complaints of sexual harassment. • Ensure compliance with maternity leave laws by providing female employees with the required leave and other benefits. • Contribute to the provident fund and other social security programs to provide benefits to employees.
