Article Overview:
While the Centre’s decision to put into effect the four Labour Codes has been welcomed across the board, industry bodies and labour experts have said the government must now turn its attention to the implementational challenges.
Our Partner, Atul Gupta, Labour & Employment, shared his perspective. Here’s what he had to say:
“21 November is a date that has, without much notice or warning, become a landmark date in the context of employment laws and labour relations in India. Decades old laws, many from the British era, have been replaced today with the Labour Codes, which have been in the making for several years.” He further highlighted the fact that the immediate applicability of the new laws will make compliance somewhat difficult for companies.
He went to add, “Unfortunately, with no grace period for implementation, organisations will need to take immediate cognisance of the substantive provisions of the Codes that have come into force, even while they wait for Rules to be formalised”
