Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on Thursday dismissed concerns that the recently enforced labour codes would encourage hire & fire and inspector raj, and said the new laws will formalise employment while inspectors will be facilitators.
Under the new codes, government permission is not required for layoff, retrenchment and closure of units with workers’ strength of up to 300. Earlier, units with up to 100 workers did not require such permission.
Addressing the Times Network India Economic Conclave, Mandaviya said, “We have formalised employment in the country with increasing the number of workers to 300 per unit, which was earlier 100.”
Earlier employers used to provide formal employment to 100 workers to avoid legal hassles and the rest were employed informally, he said.
He said new codes have formalised employment of the left-out workers and they will get all benefits that an enrolled employee gets.
