Industrial Employment
Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946
Establish clear and certified rules of conduct for your industrial workforce, prevent disputes, and ensure regulatory compliance.
Introduction and Value Proposition
The Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946, requires industrial establishments to formally define and certify the conditions of employment governing their workers. These certified Standing Orders act as the rulebook for your workplace, covering everything from attendance and leave to misconduct and termination. Without them, you face ambiguity, unstructured HR practices, and a high risk of industrial disputes.
