Regarding the significance of the labor law in the relationship between employer and employee and its determining role in economic development, this study intends to analyze the labor law on the part of employers from perspective of human resources management. Considering the objectives of the study, it is an applied research, and the grounded theory is applied for data analysis. Statistical population includes employers of industrial companies located in Tehran among whom sampling is conducted through theoretical saturation and in-depth interviewing is utilized as the data collection instrument. The results showed that in employers’ point of view, the most important drawback of the abovementioned law is lack of clarity and its various probable interpretations, as well as the limited authority considered for the employers. Also, in employers’ point of view, current law cannot be so effective in judging between the worker and the employer. This will widen the gap between the real conditions governing human resources and the content of the law. Given the high supply of labor, especially the educated force, firms simply have access to the workforce. This has caused employers with little regard to labor law, do not spend a lot to attract and retain human resources.
