As many as 17 present labour laws are more than 50 years old and some of them even belong to pre-independence era.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Salient features of the Code are as following:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022\u00a0The Code on Wage universalizes the provisions of minimum wages and timely payment of wages to all employees irrespective of the sector and wage ceiling. At present, the provisions of both Minimum Wages Act and Payment of Wages Act apply on workers below a particular wage ceiling working in Scheduled\u00a0Employments only. This would ensure &#8220;Right to Sustenance&#8221; for every worker and intends to increase the legislative protection of minimum wage from existing about 40% to 100% workforce. This would ensure that every worker gets minimum wage which will also be accompanied by increase in the purchasing power of the worker thereby giving fillip to growth in the economy. Introduction of statutory Floor Wage to be computed based on minimum living conditions, will extend qualitative living conditions across the country to about 50 crore workers. It is envisaged that the states to notify payment of wages to the workers through digital mode.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 There are 12 definitions of wages in the different Labour Laws leading to litigation besides difficulty in its implementation. The definition has been simplified and is expected to reduce litigation and will entail at lesser cost of compliance for an employer. An establishment will also be benefited as the number of registers, returns, forms etc., not only can be electronically filed and maintained, but it is envisaged that through rules, not more than one template will be prescribed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 At present, many of the states have multiple minimum wages. Through Code on Wages, the methodology to fix the minimum wages has been simplified and rationalised by doing away with type of employment as one of the criteria for fixation of minimum wage. The minimum wage fixation would primarily based on geography and skills. It will substantially reduce the number of minimum wages in the country from existing more than 2000 rates of minimum wages.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Many changes have been introduced in the inspection regimes including web based randomised computerised inspection scheme, jurisdiction-free inspections, calling of information electronically for inspection, composition of fines etc. All these changes will be conducive for enforcement of labour laws with transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u2022 There were instances that due to smaller limitation period, the claims of the workers could not be raised. To protect the interest of the workers, the limitation period has been raised to 3 years and made uniform for filing claims for minimum wages, bonus, equal remuneration etc., as against existing varying period between 6 months to 2 years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 It can be said that a historical step for ensuring statutory protection for minimum wage and timely payment of wage to 50 crore worker in the country has been taken through the Code on Wages besides promoting ease of living and ease of doing business.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>[Press Release dt. 30-07-2019]<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong>Ministry of Labour &amp;
