About this ebook

Law applies to almost every aspect of an organization's work, so it's imperative for organizations to become knowledgeable about the law to handle situations that may lead to serious legal ramifications. Human resources laws are governed by legislation framed by the central government and each state accordingly. Therefore, the company's objectives and strategy must align with the employment laws. The human resources policies that organizations adopt affect the entire organization, and they must comply with legal requirements to protect employees and employers. It is crucial that companies comply with a variety of laws/ policies, as non-compliance can also result in stiff penalties and sometimes disciplinary actions. Legal-minded human resources departments can eliminate lawsuits, financial losses, and reputational damage, and add credibility to the decisions made by the department. To ensure that an organization and its employees follow the laws, human resources professionals should have a sound understanding of the available and applicable laws before creating their human resources policies for the organization. This edited book focuses on providing a refreshed perspective on HRM legal and regulatory issues with their strategic application to firms and organizations operating in an everchanging global environment. Unlike existing HRM books which focus on employment laws, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of contemporary legal issues in organizations. By providing you with a variety of concepts and approaches, this book will help you to understand human resources management, as well as provide you with additional legal knowledge that will be of interest to employers at the local, national, and international levels. In conclusion, this work sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the angle between Human resources and Industrial and Labour Laws. It invites readers to delve into the complexities, debates, and transformative potential of this field, and to actively contribute to the ongoing quest for a more just and peaceful employment environment.
