What is The Industrial Relations Code, 2020?

India's Industrial Relations Code, 2020 consolidates three labor laws governing trade unions, industrial disputes, and standing orders into a single code, raising the retrenchment threshold to 300 workers and introducing new provisions for fixed-term employment and worker reskilling funds.

Why it matters in hiring

The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 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.
