Certification Course in Industrial Relations Code 2020

Course Overview

This certification course in Industrial Relations Code 2020 covers new labour laws and statutory compliances. It is important for HR managers to have a good understanding of different laws, from recruitment to onboarding, mandatory paperwork, and different benefits such as PF, ESI, bonus, and gratuity. It is also important to ensure that dismissal decisions are taken after proper disciplinary proceedings. If proper procedures are not followed, the company may have to pay compensation for wrongful termination or reinstate the employee with back wages in some cases. As one goes up the chain, legal knowledge becomes indispensable. For example, when drafting a leave policy for a company, it is important to check the relevant Shops and Establishments Act of the state, as failure to do so can result in the company paying heavy fines, a potentially negative impact on the brand, and embarrassment in front of other employees. This course will provide an understanding of the importance of legal knowledge for HR functions such as recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and grievance handling. It will also provide an understanding of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, including self-assessment, preliminary FAQs, bi-partite forums, trade unions, standing orders, notices of change, voluntary reference of disputes to arbitration, mechanisms for resolution of industrial disputes, strikes and lock-outs, lay-offs, retrenchment and closure, worker re-skilling funds, unfair labour practices, and penalties.
