Which of the four Labour Codes was enacted in 2019, with the other three dating from 2020?
- A.Code on Social Security
- B.Industrial Relations Code
- C.Code on Wages
- D.Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Code on Wages, which belongs to 2019. The other three Codes are all of 2020: the Industrial Relations Code, the Code on Social Security, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. That makes options A, B and D wrong, since each of them carries the later year. This is one of the most frequently asked facts about the labour reforms, because the four Codes are usually listed together and the single earlier year is easy to lose. A helpful way to hold the set is by subject: wages first, then the three that followed a year later on industrial relations, social security and workplace safety. The programme under Shram Samvad takes up an overview and a detailed breakdown of the statutory compliances under all four Codes, along with presentations on the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana and the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan Yojana.
