Labour License
Labour License, for a compliant workforce.
We identify which labour-law licenses apply to your workforce arrangement and prepare the applications for the appropriate labour department.
What is Labour License?
Businesses that engage workers — directly or through contractors — may need one or more licenses under labour welfare laws, most commonly a Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act license for principal employers and contractors engaging contract workers above a prescribed threshold.
Requirements depend on the number of workers, whether they're engaged directly or through a contractor, and the state's specific rules.
Gurur Consultancy reviews your workforce structure to identify which labour licenses apply, and prepares the application for the relevant labour department.
