Dear Colleague,
The four Labour Codes -- the Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Social Security Code and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code -- are set to replace 29 labour laws. The date of implementation of these codes are yet to be announced by Central Government.
The Code on Wages, 2019; The Industrial Relations Code, 2020;The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and The Code on Social Security, 2020.
The Code on Social Security subsumes nine laws and empowers the Centre to notify various social security schemes like the EPF, EPS and ESI for the benefit of workers in all sectors. It also empowers the Centre to frame any other schemes for the self-employed, unorganised workers, gig workers and platform workers and the members of their families.
The Code on Wages, notified in August 2019, subsumes the provisions of four laws -- Payment of Wages Act, the Minimum Wages Act, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and the Equal Remuneration Act.
The Code on Industrial Relations amalgamates three existing laws and expands the definition of worker to include persons employed in a skilled or unskilled, manual, technical, operational and clerical capacity. Besides, persons employed in a supervisory capacity and earning less than Rs. 18,000 per month have been brought under the definition.
The code on Occupational Health, Safety and Working Conditions Code covers the Safety, Health, Contract Labour, Interstate Migrant Worker aspects and so on.
