Employment & Labour, Frequently Asked
Questions buyers ask before engaging.
Can you design and roll out an ESOP scheme?
Yes. Trust-route or direct-issue ESOP design, scheme document drafting, valuation coordination, board / shareholder approvals, grant letters, and ongoing ESOP secretarial work.
Do you support POSH inquiries?
Yes. POSH policy and IC constitution at setup, periodic IC training, and external-member or counsel support during sensitive inquiries. Inquiry-report drafting and sanction recommendations are part of the engagement scope.
How are the new Labour Codes affecting employment work?
The four Labour Codes consolidate 29 central acts. Implementation is staggered by state, so practical compliance is jurisdiction-specific. We track state-by-state notifications and refresh client HR policies as the codes get notified.
