Meera advises a Chennai manufacturer that the four Labour Codes consolidated earlier central labour laws. Which pairing of a Code with the subject it primarily covers is correct?

The Code on Wages, 2019 covers wage payment, minimum wages, bonus and equal remuneration. The other pairings are wrong because safety and working hours fall under the OSH Code, unions and strikes under the Industrial Relations Code, and benefits like provident fund under the Social Security Code.

  1. ACode on Wages, 2019 - wage payment, minimum wages, bonus and equal remunerationCorrect
  2. BIndustrial Relations Code, 2020 - safety standards and working hours of factories
  3. CCode on Social Security, 2020 - recognition of trade unions and strikes
  4. DOccupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - payment of bonus

Explanation

The Code on Wages, 2019 subsumes laws on payment of wages, minimum wages, bonus and equal remuneration. Safety and working conditions sit in the OSH Code, trade unions and strikes in the Industrial Relations Code, and provident fund, gratuity and similar benefits in the Code on Social Security. The other pairings swap these subjects.
