The Code on Wages, Industrial Relations Code, Code on Social Security and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code together replace 29 existing labour statutes.

Key changes include a uniform definition of 'wages' affecting PF and gratuity calculations, revised thresholds for standing orders and layoffs, and expanded social security coverage for gig and platform workers.

Employers should revisit employment contracts, wage structures and HR policies well before staggered state-wise notification.

Our labour law team offers a fixed-fee compliance audit to flag gaps ahead of enforcement.
