Industrial Relations Code

Managing Industrial Relations, Workforce Policies, and Legal Obligations

The IR Code focuses on modernizing the relationship between employers and trade unions. Its strategic purposes are:

The 14-day notice requirement promotes conciliation and prevents sudden work stoppages.

It increases the approval threshold to 300 workers, enabling greater workforce flexibility with reduced regulatory delays.

Establishments with 20+ workers must constitute an Internal Grievance Redressal Committee for in-house dispute resolution.

It establishes a framework for recognizing negotiating unions, streamlining collective bargaining.
