Shailendra Pol said that the department is working on to remove the unnecessary fear in the minds of industry stakeholders about Labor Laws. ‘‘The government is implementing the policy of ‘Ease of doing business’ and we are also a part of it. It is a good sign that many industry members are coming forward for registration and showing pro-activeness in the compliance of labor laws,’’ added Pol.
Vidyadhar Purandare said, ‘‘Sometimes due to lack of information about different laws, there happens to be some problem in the compliance with few IT companies. Such events will surely help to clarify doubts and resolve problems. SEAP will continue to organize such programs to provide a common platform for productive discussion for industry and authorities.’’
