The Code on Wages, 2019 had received the President’s assent on 8th August, 2020 and as we had earlier reported the provisions of the Code will come into force on a date which the Central Government may by way of a commencement notification appoint and different dates may be appointed for different provisions.
Now, the Ministry of Labour and Employment (“Ministry”) has fixed 18th December, 2020 as the date on which the following provisions of the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Code”) is gaining effect:
