Dear all,

I have been contacted by many friends to clarify the impact of this amendment on other statutes. I would like to clarify that this amendment has no impact on ESI, PF, or GRATUITY. It has been a relief to employees who now draw up to 10,000/- to claim their unpaid wages or illegal deductions from employers through labor authorities in the area. Until now, only employees drawing up to 6,500 were eligible to go to the labor department against employers for payment of their earnings on time.

Dear Friends,

From an employer's point of view, what would be the implication? Would it mean that a lesser number of employees would come under the coverage of the Act?

Grateful for considered views.
