New Labour Code: Will the new labour code now grant 3 days of leave per week, requiring employees to work only 4 days?

The government has announced the new Labor Code. It is expected that this new law will come into effect from April 1st. The new Labor Code includes several provisions that will benefit employees. For example, employees will no longer have to wait 5 years to receive gratuity. Under the new Labor Code, gratuity will be payable after just one year of service. Similarly, provisions have been made regarding minimum wage, safety for women employees, and several other aspects that will benefit employees.

Now, let's talk about something that will make you even happier. Many countries already have a four-day work week culture. This means four days of work and three days off per week. Countries like Japan, Spain, and Germany already follow a four-day work week. So, will a four-day work week culture be implemented in India after the new Labor Code? Let's see what the Ministry of Labor has to say about this.

Will there be 3 days of leave?

According to a tweet from the Ministry of Labor, the Labor Code allows for a four-day work week with 12 hours of work per day. The remaining three days will be considered paid holidays. To understand this better, you can read the tweet below, which was issued by the Ministry of Labor.

Labor Code issued on November 21st

On November 21st, the government issued four new Labor Codes, consolidating 29 existing laws, to promote ease of doing business while protecting workers' rights. These include the Code on Wages, the Industrial Relations Code, the Social Security Code, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code. Several important provisions have been added under the new Labor Codes, which are expected to affect more than 40 million workers in both the formal and informal sectors. It is believed that the introduction of the new Labor Code will bring about revolutionary changes in India's labor laws.
