What is Standing Orders?

Standing orders are formally certified rules set by an employer in India that define the conditions of employment, including classification of workers, working hours, leave policies, disciplinary procedures, and termination processes, as required under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946.

Why it matters in hiring

Standing Orders comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
