Certificate in Labour Codes and the Logistics Sector

Labour law is one of the fundamental aspects of the welfare state and attempts to ensure social justice. Issues like complex legal structure, unregulated organised sector and technological changes have prompted labour reforms in India. Therefore, in 2019, the Ministry of Labour and Employment introduced four Bills to simplify and integrate labour rules and laws i.e. the Occupational Safety, Health And Working Conditions Code, the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security, and the Code on Wages.

When we talk about the logistics sector, as in industry, it is considered a critical sector for boosting international trade due to the proliferation of digitalization and globalisation. The logistics and freight industry is rapidly evolving. It is seen as the backbone of India's economy as it ensures quick, reliable and cost-effective transport of goods across India. Many business sectors rely on it. Therefore, the impact of the new labour codes on the logistics sector is of special significance.

The Certificate in Labour Codes and the Logistics Sector is brought to you by Scriboard Advocates and Legal Consultants, in association with Enhelion. It discusses in detail, the need for consolidated labour codes in India and analyses the important provisions of the four labour codes, with special significance to the impact they have on the logistics sector in India.

According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The evaluation will be conducted in a two-fold manner. There will be one MCQ test which would test the basic understanding on the topics covered in the course. Furthermore, there will be one Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the same.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can take the MCQ test and submit the project assignment as per your convenience.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure a minimum of 40 percent overall.
