Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

What are the four labour codes in India? +
The Government of India consolidated 29 central labour laws into four new Labour Codes: (1) Code on Wages, 2019 — covers minimum wages, payment of wages, equal remuneration, and bonus; (2) Industrial Relations Code, 2020 — covers trade unions, standing orders, industrial disputes, and fixed-term employment; (3) Social Security Code, 2020 — covers EPF, ESI, gratuity, maternity benefits, and gig/platform workers; and (4) Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH) Code, 2020 — covers workplace safety, health standards, and working conditions for all establishments. All four codes came into force in November 2025.
What is the fee for this labour law course in India? +
The total course fee is ₹1,000 — an all-inclusive price covering all 10 live online sessions, course materials, the e-certificate, and access to recordings. There are no hidden charges. This makes it one of the most affordable and comprehensive labour law certificate courses in India.
Who can do a labour law course in India? +
This course is open to anyone with an interest in Indian labour law and compliance — no prior legal background is required. Ideal participants include: HR managers, payroll professionals, company secretaries, CA students and practising CAs, law students and advocates, startup founders, compliance officers, industrial relations professionals, corporate executives, and manufacturing/IT sector HR teams. It is specifically designed as an employment law course for non-lawyers — professionals who need compliance knowledge without a law degree.
What is the Code on Wages 2019? +
The Code on Wages, 2019 is the first of India's four new Labour Codes. It replaced four existing laws: the Minimum Wages Act 1948, the Payment of Wages Act 1936, the Payment of Bonus Act 1965, and the Equal Remuneration Act 1976. Key changes include the introduction of a National Floor Wage, a mandate that allowances cannot exceed 50% of total wages (ensuring at least 50% of CTC is basic wages), and universal coverage — extending minimum wage protection to all workers, not just those in scheduled employments. This code directly impacts salary structuring, PF contributions, gratuity calculations, and take-home pay across India.
Is labour law knowledge compulsory for HR professionals in India? +
While no law mandates a specific certification, labour law compliance is a statutory obligation for every employer in India — and HR professionals are the primary implementers. With the four new Labour Codes now in force, companies face penalties for non-compliance, and HR managers who cannot demonstrate knowledge of the new framework face professional risk. Leading organisations now require HR personnel to hold a labour law certificate as a condition of senior employment. In practice, it is essential.
What changed in Indian labour law in 2025? +
In November 2025, India's four new Labour Codes — enacted between 2019 and 2020 — were officially brought into force, replacing 29 existing central labour laws. The most significant changes include: (1) mandatory 50% basic wage rule under the Code on Wages, reshaping salary structures and PF contributions; (2) fixed-term employees now eligible for gratuity and ESI from day one; (3) gig workers and platform workers formally covered under the Social Security Code; (4) a new inspector-cum-facilitator model under the OSH Code, replacing adversarial labour inspection; (5) four-day work weeks of up to 12 hours permissible under specific conditions; and (6) unified registration and return-filing portals replacing dozens of separate compliance processes.
How should employers comply with the new Labour Codes 2025? +
Employers must take six immediate steps to comply with the new Labour Codes: (1) Restructure salary components to ensure basic wages are at least 50% of CTC; (2) Update PF, ESI, and gratuity calculations under the Social Security Code; (3) Review and update standing orders under the Industrial Relations Code; (4) Ensure all fixed-term employees receive equivalent benefits from Day 1; (5) Register on the new unified Shram Suvidha portal and update statutory returns; (6) Train HR and payroll teams on new compliance requirements. This course provides a complete practical roadmap for each of these steps.
How long is this certificate course in labour law? +
The course runs for 4 weeks, from 13 April 2026 to 13 May 2026, with two live online classes per week — totalling 10 sessions including an orientation and concluding session. This makes it an ideal short-term labour law course for working professionals who need intensive, focused learning without a long-term commitment.
What is the scope and salary for labour law professionals in India? +
The scope of labour law in India has expanded significantly with the new codes. Labour law consultants typically earn ₹4–15 LPA depending on experience, while senior HR compliance managers and industrial relations professionals can earn ₹8–25 LPA at large organisations. The demand for certified labour law professionals is at an all-time high in 2025–26, as every employer in India must align with the new codes — creating a sustained need for trained compliance professionals, IR managers, and labour law advisors across sectors.
Is this the best labour law course available in India in 2026? +
This course is specifically designed to be the best short-term labour law course in India for 2026 — combining comprehensive coverage of all four new Labour Codes, live expert instruction, practical compliance tools, and a recognised e-certificate at just ₹1,000. While longer programmes from XLRI (₹40,000+) and LawSikho (₹20,000) offer depth in specific areas, this course offers the best balance of comprehensive coverage, practical relevance, and affordability for HR professionals, law students, and compliance officers who need certified knowledge quickly.
Do gig workers get social security benefits under the new codes? +
Yes. For the first time in Indian legal history, the Social Security Code 2020 formally recognises gig workers and platform workers as a defined category of workers entitled to social security benefits. Aggregator platforms (such as app-based delivery, ride-hailing, and freelance platforms) are required to contribute a percentage of annual turnover towards a social security fund for gig workers — covering life and disability cover, accident insurance, health and maternity benefits, and old-age protection. The exact contribution percentages are specified in the Code.
