Frequently asked questions
What should an offer letter actually say, and is it legally binding?
A strong offer letter specifies the job title, compensation, benefits, reporting structure, start date, notice period, and any conditions (medical exam, background check). It forms the foundation of the employment relationship and is legally binding once accepted.
What are the notice periods and severance rules in India, really?
Notice periods vary by contract but are typically 30–90 days. Severance depends on how long the person has worked for you and whether the termination is fair or not. We advise on statutory minimums and what's considered fair practice in your industry.
Can I actually enforce a non-compete agreement with an employee?
Yes, if it's reasonable in scope, duration, and geography. An overly broad non-compete gets thrown out. We draft them so they're actually enforceable while still protecting your business interests.
How much leave am I legally required to give employees?
It varies by employment type and state law, but generally employees get casual leave, sick leave, and annual leave. We help you structure your leave policy to comply with applicable labour codes.
