  2. Labour Ministry to clear the air on work hours
The labour ministry has proposed an eight-hour workday in the draft rules under the code on Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions (OSH&WC code). However, the draft rules under the code, also provide that the working hours in a day can be modified subject to weekly cap of 48 hours. The government will soon specify the cut-off for daily work hours, likely limiting this to eight, after which overtime starts, said people with knowledge of the matter. This is aimed at ending the misconception that the new labour laws allow a 12-hour workday, they said. The overtime wage rate is twice that of regular daily pay.
  1. Labour codes to herald new wave of reforms in 2021; job creation likely to be major challenge
This year has also been a challenging year for the workforce as well as for employers due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government imposed a nationwide lockdown from March 25, which had an adverse impact on economic activities and resulted in the exodus of migrant workers from large cities to their homes in the hinterland. The implementation of four labour codes in one go from April 1 next year will usher in a new wave of reforms in industrial relations and also help in attracting more investments but employment generation will remain a key challenge in 2021. The Code on Wages was approved by Parliament last year and its rules have been firmed up. But the implementation of the rules for Code on Wages was held back because the government wanted to implement all four labour codes in one go.
  1. States may be nudged to modify laws in line with labour codes
The government is of the view that state laws such as the Mathadi law of Maharashtra, which provides benefits for a person who carries a load of material on his head or back, may not remain valid or would require fresh Presidential assent with the labour codes coming into force.
