Comprehensive Compliance Support for the Industrial Relations Code, 2020

The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 consolidates three major labour laws—Industrial Disputes Act, Trade Unions Act, and Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act—into a unified framework to promote smoother employer–employee relations, reduce disputes, and improve ease of doing business in India.

At Sankhla Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd., we offer expert IR Code Compliance Services to help organisations update their internal policies, employment practices, standing orders, and dispute-handling mechanisms as per the new IR Code provisions.

Why Industrial Relations Code Compliance is Essential

The IR Code introduces major reforms, including:
✔ New rules for trade unions & recognition
✔ Standing Orders for establishments with 300+ workers
✔ Simplified dispute resolution process
✔ New rules for layoffs, retrenchment & closure
✔ Grievance redressal committee requirements
✔ Stricter penalties for non-compliance

Ensuring compliance is crucial to prevent industrial disputes, legal challenges, penalties, strikes, inspections, and costly operational disruptions.
