CII AP Welcomes Four Labour Codes as Landmark Reform
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in Andhra Pradesh is very happy about the new labour rules that the central government has started using.
These rules combine 29 old laws into one simpler set.
This makes it easier for companies to follow the rules and helps workers by ensuring they get fair pay and better benefits.
The leaders of CII, Murali Krishna Gannamani and Narendra Kumar, think these changes will make Andhra Pradesh more attractive to investors.
They plan to help businesses adjust to the new rules through training sessions.
The new rules are expected to bring higher pay, better safety, and easier compliance for everyone.
CII AP welcomes the implementation of four labour codes as a landmark reform.
The codes consolidate 29 existing labour laws into a single framework.
Key provisions include universal minimum wages, time-bound wage payments, and expanded ESIC and EPFO coverage.
CII AP leaders highlight benefits such as higher take-home pay, portability of social security, and reduced compliance burden.
CII AP will support industries through physical and virtual sessions for smooth adoption of the new labour codes.
