Duration
120 Minutes

India’s labour law framework is undergoing a historic transformation with the implementation of:

  • Code on Wages, 2019
  • Industrial Relations Code, 2020
  • Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
  • Code on Social Security, 2020

These four Codes consolidate 29 central labour laws, but their impact goes far beyond compliance.

They directly influence:

  • Salary structure and CTC models
  • PF, ESI, gratuity & bonus liabilities
  • Working hours & overtime exposure
  • Fixed Term Employment (FTE) frameworks
  • Contractor governance & outsourcing risk
  • Director and occupier accountability
  • Mandatory digitisation of compliance systems

This FREE 120-minute executive webinar is designed to translate legal reform into clear business, financial, and governance decisions.
