Legal Compliance

The landscape of statutes of labour laws is constantly evolving, and it takes a special agility to keep abreast of all the latest developments and ensure compliance for legal laws. At JMD FMPS, we offer compliance services for companies to stay safe and up to date with the legal framework.

It is absolutely imperative to ensure compliance with all legal and statutory norms for businesses to operate successfully in India. This often involves significant investment of the company resources, time, and continuous monitoring to be in the know of all the changes that are happening, in order to be compliant and avoid penalties.

With the government regularly changing the laws pertaining to employees and employment, it becomes a challenge for small and mid-sized companies to ensure compliance with the legal framework. What these organizations need is reliable HR compliance services from a company that is experienced in the industry.

To ensure timely and efficient statutory compliance in your organization, the following aspects must be in place:

• Unrestricted access to local and regional expertise
• Expert support during all audits and inspections
• Following ethical practices
• Knowledge of timelines for adherence to the many laws and regulations
• Updated documents and data in a centralized location, and which are readily available.

As you can imagine, this takes a lot of effort and investment in terms of money from the employer and manpower from the workers. Not every organization can afford to or even want to spend so many resources for statutory compliance. Nonetheless, it is absolutely vital for a business to be compliant to all the laws of the land.

With statutory compliance outsourcing to an experienced firm such as JMD FMPS Consulting, you can ensure compliance without having to hire new employees and maintaining a separate HR statutory compliance department for it.
