About the Programme

Managing contract labour has changed fundamentally under the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH) Code, 2020 — the applicability threshold has moved from 20 to 50 workers, registrations and licenses are now single and unified, and the principal employer’s liability has expanded. This one-day programme gives HR professionals complete, practical command over engaging, registering, documenting, and managing contract labour compliantly — with cross-references to wage, social security, and dispute-resolution provisions under the other New Labour Codes.
