New Labour Code Compliance Services in India
India's new Labour Codes have brought significant changes to how businesses manage wages, employee benefits, workplace safety and industrial relations. For employers, understanding these changes is not just about updating paperwork. It means reviewing payroll structures, HR policies, contractor arrangements and day-to-day compliance processes.
G&CC Management Services helps businesses across India understand the four Labour Codes and prepare practical compliance plans. From wage restructuring and PF & ESIC reviews to factory compliance and contractor management, we make complex regulatory requirements easier to understand and manage.
The four Labour Codes came into effect nationally on 21 November 2025. Businesses must also check applicable Central and State rules, notifications and transitional arrangements for their establishments.
Understanding the Four New Labour Codes
1. Code on Wages, 2019
The Code on Wages brings together key provisions relating to minimum wages, wage payments, bonus and equal remuneration. Its definition of wages can affect salary structures and the calculation of certain statutory benefits.
- Review of basic pay, allowances and salary components
- Wage definition and 50% exclusion-limit assessment
- Minimum wages and payment-of-wages compliance
- Payroll restructuring and employer-cost analysis
2. Industrial Relations Code, 2020
This Code addresses trade unions, standing orders, industrial disputes, fixed-term employment and processes relating to workforce changes. Employers may need to review HR policies and employment documentation in light of applicable provisions.
- Standing orders and employment policy reviews
- Fixed-term employment advisory
- Industrial dispute and disciplinary-process guidance
- Workforce restructuring and separation compliance support
3. Code on Social Security, 2020
The Social Security Code brings together provisions concerning provident fund, employee state insurance, gratuity, maternity benefits and other social security arrangements. Businesses should assess how applicable definitions and rules affect employee coverage and benefit calculations.
- PF and ESIC applicability and contribution reviews
- Gratuity liability and employee benefit assessment
- Payroll reconciliation and statutory record verification
- Contractor-related social security compliance
4. Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
The OSH Code focuses on workplace health, safety, welfare and working conditions, including provisions relevant to factories, contractors and certain other establishments.
- Factory and establishment compliance reviews
- Working hours, welfare facilities and safety documentation
- Contract labour and licensing requirements
- Inspection readiness and corrective action guidance
Labour Code Applicability Assessment
Not every business has the same obligations. Applicability depends on factors such as industry, location, workforce strength, nature of employment and the relevant rules in force. G&CC helps organisations review their current practices and identify areas that may require changes.
- Employee categories, contractor deployment and workforce structure
- Existing registrations, licences and statutory records
- Payroll components, HR policies and employment contracts
- Central and state-specific compliance requirements
Wage Restructuring and Payroll Impact
Changes to the statutory definition of wages can influence the way businesses design compensation packages and calculate certain employee benefits. We help employers assess potential impacts before making payroll changes.
- Salary component and allowance analysis
- PF, ESIC and gratuity impact assessments where applicable
- Employee take-home pay and employer-cost comparisons
- Payroll process, payslip and HR policy review
PF, ESIC and Gratuity Compliance Review
Employee benefits are an important part of Labour Code compliance. G&CC assists organisations in examining coverage, wage calculations, statutory documentation and potential liabilities under the applicable framework.
- PF contribution and wage-base verification
- ESIC eligibility and employee coverage assessment
- Gratuity obligations and fixed-term employment considerations
- Statutory records, returns and compliance-gap reporting
Contractor and Vendor Compliance
Businesses that engage contractors, manpower agencies, security providers, housekeeping vendors and other third-party workforce partners need reliable compliance oversight. We help review contractor arrangements, records and relevant principal-employer obligations.
- Contractor documentation and licence checks
- Wage, attendance and social security verification
- Core-activity and deployment-model assessments
- Vendor compliance audits and corrective action support
Factory Safety and Welfare Compliance
For factories and industrial establishments, Labour Code compliance also involves safe working conditions, employee welfare and appropriate statutory records. G&CC helps identify gaps in workplace practices and supports preparation for regulatory inspections.

- Factory and contractor-related licensing guidance
