The new labour code has pushed companies to factor in additional expenses on employees, the report said
While the Codes overhaul 29 separate laws into a single structure, their provisions carry specific implications for mine workers, employees in hazardous environments, and textile-sector labourers, including migrants.
Experts say the codes have already been introduced in a staggered manner, and expect this approach to continue. There might be some modifications in specific laws that impact certain states like Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, they said.
