New Labour & Industrial Laws (w.e.f. 21-11-2025)

New Labour & Industrial Laws (w.e.f. 21-11-2025) is an editioned compendium that brings together the four Labour Codes now effective from 21 November 2025, consolidating and replacing multiple pre-existing statutes into a practical, workplace-focused manual. The book reproduces the operative provisions of the Code on Wages (2019), Industrial Relations Code (2020), Code on Social Security (2020) and Occupational Safety, Health & Working Conditions Code (2020), each followed by plain-language annotations explaining scope, definitions, employer/employee obligations and transitional rules. Practical sections include: employer checklists for payroll restructuring (basic-pay/CTC mapping), model notices for retrenchment/layoff and closure, social-security enrolment templates (EPF/ESI mapping and gig-worker registration notes), flowcharts for dispute-resolution and settlement steps, inspection & penalty response templates, and quick-reference tables mapping old statutes to the new codes. The edition also flags high-impact operational changes (e.g., basic-pay composition rules, expanded social-security coverage and reduced qualification periods for certain benefits) and offers advisory notes for HR and payroll teams to implement changes without compliance shocks. Indexed and cross-referenced for desk use, this volume is a one-stop guide for employers, in-house counsel and labour-law practitioners transitioning to India’s modernised labour regulatory regime.
