This Permanent Employment Contract is designed for use when establishing a formal, ongoing employment relationship in India. It serves as the primary document defining the employment relationship between organizations and their full-time employees, incorporating all mandatory requirements under Indian labor laws including the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, Payment of Wages Act, and other relevant legislation. The contract is suitable for both white-collar and blue-collar positions, providing comprehensive coverage of employment terms, statutory benefits, and workplace policies while ensuring compliance with federal and state-specific labor regulations. This document should be used when hiring permanent employees (as opposed to fixed-term or contract workers) and needs to be customized based on the specific role, industry requirements, and applicable state laws.
