Compliance for Labour Laws in India

Here’s an overview of the key labor laws in India:

1. Wages and Salary Compliance

Minimum Wages Act, 1948: Sets minimum wage standards for different types of employment. Employers must pay at least the minimum wage set by the government.

Payment of Wages Act, 1936: Ensures timely payment of wages without unauthorized deductions.

Equal Remuneration Act, 1976: Mandates equal pay for men and women performing the same work.

2. Social Security Compliance

Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Act, 1952: Provides a retirement savings scheme for employees in specified establishments. Employers are required to contribute to employees' PF accounts monthly.

Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) Act, 1948: Offers medical, cash, and maternity benefits to workers. Employers and employees contribute a portion of wages toward ESI funds.

Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972: Provides gratuity to employees after five years of continuous service upon retirement, resignation, or death.

3. Working Conditions and Safety

Factories Act, 1948: Regulates health, safety, and welfare conditions in factories. This includes proper lighting, ventilation, safety precautions, and working hour restrictions.

Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970: Regulates employment conditions for contract laborers and mandates basic welfare measures by contractors.

Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996: Ensures safety, health, and welfare for construction workers with provisions for safety equipment and accident compensation.

4. Industrial Relations Compliance

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947: Governs the resolution of industrial disputes through negotiation, arbitration, and conciliation. It provides mechanisms for lay-offs, retrenchment, and worker compensation during conflicts.

Trade Unions Act, 1926: Regulates the formation, registration, and rights of trade unions, ensuring workers can collectively bargain for better conditions.

5. Welfare and Benefits Compliance

Maternity Benefit Act, 1961: Ensures paid maternity leave and job security for women during pregnancy and post-delivery.

Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986: Prohibits the employment of children in certain hazardous occupations and regulates working conditions for children aged 14-18.

6. The Code on Wages, 2019

A consolidated law merging multiple wage-related acts, including the Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, Equal Remuneration Act, and the Payment of Bonus Act.

Establishes a national minimum wage, simplifies wage-related compliance, and standardizes definitions across states.

These codes aim to streamline compliance, reduce complexity, and standardize labor laws across India. Once implemented, the new labor codes will replace 29 existing labor laws, making compliance easier and enhancing worker protections.

Importance of Labor Law Compliance

Labour law compliance helps businesses avoid penalties, protect their reputations, and ensure fair treatment of workers. Many companies engage third-party compliance service providers to stay updated on regulatory changes and ensure they meet all required standards.

#The report mentioned that the central government has notified four labour codes likely related to wages, social security, occupational safety, health and working conditions. Hindustan Times has published a report, citing experts as it speculated that the reformed codes might give employees in India a privilege of a four-day workweek instead of five days from next year. However, there's a catch, if it happens, the employees might have to work for 12 hours on those four days. For the unversed, the labour ministry has indicated that the 48-hour weekly work requirement will be in place. There's also a possibility that there will be a reduction in in-hand salary and if it happens, the employees' Provident Fund (PF) will be impacted. #wfh #labourlaws #labourcodes #india #citizensconnected #visionforcitizens #salary #income (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYynZqdsAzDWTEnGzT1fOl_F9W9WER2cPT966Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute published a report regarding the exploitation of Filipino migrant workers in all regions of the modern world: Europe, the Middle East and the Americas. This was observed in the 70’s, though international legislation criminalizing such acts were already in place in the modern format since 1915 - that’s 55 years people. Currently the pandemic has caught the suspicion of the general public and professional sectors - with an even greater emphasis in the Human rights (and labourcodes) applicable to women, migrants and refugees (and of course, as always, the disabled). There is currently a public political hostage/ransom drama playing out in the official discourse with #metoo, #blacklivesmatter and #notinmyname (#ikkeimitnavn). So if we’re hostages, being sandwiched in between multiple kinds of abusers someone has to be willing to let the heads Roll - because it’s happening anyway. https://www.instagram.com/p/CN9PtLOnMdT/?igshid=18nh2mpm8cx5k
