- The Central Government fully operationalised the four new Labour Codes by publishing the final rules in the official gazette.
- The four Labour Codes came into effect on November 21, 2025.
- The new framework replaced 29 old labour laws with four simplified labour codes.
- The four codes are: Code on Wages, 2019; Industrial Relations Code, 2020; Code on Social Security, 2020; and Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020.
- The reforms aim to ensure minimum wages, universal social security, worker safety, and ease of doing business.
- The Code on Wages provides minimum wages, timely payment of wages, and equal remuneration for workers.
- The Industrial Relations Code deals with trade unions, industrial disputes, layoffs, retrenchment, and closure of establishments.
- The Code on Social Security provides the benefits such as Provident Fund (PF), pension, insurance, and maternity benefits for organised and unorganised workers.
- The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code focuses on worker safety, health facilities, welfare measures, maximum 48 working hours per week, overtime pay, and weekly holidays.
