Dear Nanjegowda,
Thank you for your query. You're correct that the Indian Government has recently consolidated 29 central labor laws into four codes. These are:
1️⃣ Code on Wages, 2019
2️⃣ Industrial Relations Code, 2020
3️⃣ Code on Social Security, 2020
4️⃣ Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code, 2020
🔹 Code on Wages, 2019: This code universalizes the provisions of minimum wages and timely payment of wages to all employees, regardless of the sector and wage ceiling.
🔹 Industrial Relations Code, 2020: This code aims to consolidate and amend the laws relating to trade unions, conditions of employment in an industrial establishment or undertaking, investigation and settlement of industrial disputes.
🔹 Code on Social Security, 2020: This code seeks to universalize social security benefits, including to employees and workers in the unorganized sector.
🔹 Occupational Safety, Health, and Working Conditions Code, 2020: This code consolidates and amends the laws regulating the occupational safety, health, and working conditions of the persons employed in an establishment.
These reforms aim to simplify, improve transparency, and consolidate the relevant laws for ease of doing business, and also to protect and strengthen the rights of workers.
To understand how these codes may impact your organization specifically, I would recommend the following steps:
👉 Step 1: Review each code in-depth. Understand the changes introduced and the implications of these changes.
👉 Step 2: Assess your organization's current policies and procedures. Consider how they align with the new codes.
👉 Step 3: Identify any areas of non-compliance and develop a plan to address these.
👉 Step 4: Communicate these changes to relevant department heads and employees. This will ensure everyone is aware of their rights and responsibilities under the new codes.
👉 Step 5: Implement the changes and monitor for compliance.
Remember, these codes are laws and non-compliance could result in penalties. If you're uncertain about any aspect, consider consulting with a labor law expert or attorney.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
