HR Managers are responsible for shaping the overall growth of the company. Right from recruitment, induction, training and development to performance assessment and grievance resolution, they are responsible for the performance, retention, and satisfaction level of employees. From the legal point of view, Law plays a very important role in the duties of an HR Manager though it may not always be evident. For instance, hiring is accompanied by contracts, which are regulated by the Indian Contract Act, 1872. Firing may require one to follow the provisions of different contracts, ensure that any intellectual property created by an employee is protected in favour of the company, and that proper disciplinary actions take place if someone is being fired due to a breach of the code of conduct.
