Labour & Employment
Protecting employee and employer rights in termination, dues, and workplace disputes.
Workplace disputes affect livelihoods, and both employees and employers need clear guidance through India's layered labour law framework. Our practice represents individuals in wrongful termination, unpaid salary and full-and-final settlement disputes, and workplace harassment complaints, and advises employers on compliant policies and defensible disciplinary action.
We appear before Labour Courts, Industrial Tribunals, and Internal Committees constituted under the POSH Act, handling everything from conciliation to contested adjudication with an emphasis on documentation and procedural correctness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my employer terminate me without notice or compensation?
It depends on your classification as a 'workman' under the Industrial Disputes Act and the terms of your appointment letter. Workmen are entitled to notice or pay in lieu, and retrenchment compensation in many cases; termination without following due process can be challenged before the Labour Court.
What is the procedure for filing a POSH complaint at work?
A written complaint must be filed with the Internal Committee within 3 months of the incident (extendable in appropriate cases), which is then required to complete its inquiry within 90 days. We assist complainants and respondents through the inquiry and any subsequent appeal.
How do I recover unpaid salary or gratuity from my employer?
Unpaid wages can be pursued through the Labour Commissioner, a Payment of Wages Act claim, or civil recovery, while gratuity claims can be filed with the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act. The right forum depends on your designation and the amount involved.
Can an employer enforce a non-compete clause after I resign?
Indian courts generally do not enforce non-compete restrictions that operate after employment ends, as they are considered a restraint of trade under the Indian Contract Act. Clauses operating during employment, and confidentiality obligations, are more likely to be upheld.
