A book on the legal framework around human resources has been published in India to help businesses better understand employment law and avoid court cases, the Hindustan Times has reported.
The publication quoted software company Quark’s HR and operations senior director Sofi Zahoor as saying such a book was “much needed”.
“This could help the HR managers cope with day-to-day legal issues to make sure that the organisation did not waste time in unnecessary avoidable litigation through strict legal compliance,” he explained.
The book, by lawyer Prabhijt Gill, summarises major HR regulations and procedures, including laws involved in breach of contract of employment, discrimination, salary, immigration issues and more.
Gill’s book was released by former acting chief justice of Punjab and Haryana high court Mehtab Singh Gill, who was reported as saying numerous litigations that came before court were the result of non-compliance and a casual approach to legalities in HR management within organisations.
“Companies don’t give much cognisance to even the simple job contract, not realising whether it is legally valid and enforceable or not,” he said.
