Modi government is soon going to give a big gift to the employees. We are talking about New Labor Codes. Most states are ready to implement these labor codes. The government can implement these four new labor codes in a phased manner. According to reports, the code related to salary and social security code may be implemented first.
After this the remaining two codes can be implemented. One is the Industrial Relations Code and the other is on job-specific safety, health and workplace conditions (OSH). However, no fixed date has been revealed when the new labor codes will come into force. The new labor codes are going to be of great benefit to the employees.
PM Modi had given indications that the government is in favor of providing a better working environment to the employees. PM Modi had said in a recent program that work from home ecosystem, flexible work places and flexible working hours are the needs of the future. The PM said, “You are also seeing the way the nature of jobs is changing with the changing times. The world is changing rapidly and we also have to be prepared at the same pace to take advantage of it.”
Employees are eagerly waiting for the implementation of 4 labor codes in the country for a long time. The Union Ministry of Labor and Employment had finalized the rules under these labor codes last year. Earlier it was being said that these labor codes will be implemented from the financial year 2022-23 i.e. from April 1, but it did not happen. After this it was said that these labor codes can be implemented from July 1. But due to non-preparation of drafts by many states, these could not be implemented. Let us know what are included in these four labor codes.
These are the four labor codes
The four labor codes being implemented by the government include the Wage/Wage Code, the Code on Industrial Relations, the Code on Work-specific Safety, Health and Workplace Conditions (OSH) and the Social and Occupational Safety Code. Significantly, the Ministry of Labor has incorporated 44 types of old labor laws into four major codes to improve labor laws. It is believed that the implementation of these labor codes will greatly benefit the employees.
Work days in the week will decrease
After the implementation of the new labor codes, the number of working days in the week of the employees will decrease. With the new rule, the working days of employees can be reduced from five to four in a week. That is, employees will get three days off in a week. But the daily working hours of the employees will increase. According to the rule, 48 hours work has to be done in a week. This means that one working day has to work for 12 hours.
