Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
Recently, the government introduced the Social Security Code, 2019 in the lower house of Parliament. The proposed Code integrates eight laws from different realms of social security and covers the provisions relating to Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), Employees State Insurance, gratuity, maternity benefits and employee's compensation. It also proposes to cover unorganised workers and building/construction workers. The code provides a uniform definition of "wages" across all legislation .
