Employment Law & Labour Compliance
Indian labour law compliance, expat secondments, and employment disputes for multinational employers
India's labour law framework has been substantially consolidated under four Labour Codes enacted between 2019 and 2020 — the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code — though their commencement rules remain in flux alongside legacy statutes. For multinationals, the complexity is compounded by expat visa structures, ESOP compliance, and the need to align Indian employment contracts with global group HR policies. RevLaw advises foreign employers on the full employment lifecycle in India.
