New Labour Code 2025 is here.
The central Codes are active, and fines for non compliance can hit Indian small and medium businesses harder than expected.
In this episode, Aarthi and Raj break down what actually impacts your balance sheet if wages, safety, social security or industrial relations are not handled correctly.
They walk through the real penalty numbers under all four Codes in simple language, explain the difference between a first mistake and a repeat offence, and highlight why missing PF or ESI deposits after deduction is taken so seriously.
You also get a practical checklist for the coming months:
• Clean up salary structures
• Fix wage slips and attendance
• Check PF and ESI applicability
• Set up basic safety and grievance records
• Keep your registers and HR files ready for review
Offrd can help with digital registers, payslips and organised HR documents so your CA or labour law expert can review everything without searching through scattered files.
This episode is for awareness only. Please consult a qualified labour law professional for any compliance decisions.
