QUICK ANSWER

Why do HR policies need to change under the Labour Codes?

HR policies need to change because the Labour Codes alter rules on working hours and overtime, leave, fixed-term employment, gratuity, notice and separation, grievance redressal and appointment letters. Policies written for the repealed laws may no longer comply, or may create liabilities. Updating them aligns employee entitlements, managers' practices and documents with the new law.

OVERVIEW

How Paalan handles HR Policy Modification

The Labour Codes change rules on working hours, overtime, leave, fixed-term employment, gratuity eligibility, notice periods, grievance redressal and appointment letters. Policies written for the old laws can quickly become non-compliant, or can expose you to claims you did not plan for.

We review your existing policies and documents clause by clause, identify gaps against the Codes and applicable state rules, and redraft them in plain, practical language that your HR team can apply with confidence.
