Demystifying the Changes - Three New Labour Codes 2020

-



The new versions of the three labour code bills are being implemented to merge 25 central labour laws into three broader legislations:

  1. Industrial Relations Code, 2020 – Includes 3 laws
  2. Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 – Includes 13 laws
  3. Code on Social Security, 2020 – Includes 9 laws

Why are the changes being proposed:

  1. Simplify & modernise labour regulations
  2. Facilitate employment growth while protecting worker rights
  3. Economists have long argued that India’s outdated labour laws need change. According to the World Bank, with less restrictive laws, India could approximately add on an annual basis “2.8 million more good quality formal sector jobs”

Shared Services is a way of organizing administrative functions to optimize the delivery of cost‐effective, flexible, reliable services to all “customers”. According to Wikipedia: Shared Services refers to provision of a service by one part of an organization or group where that service had previously been found in more than one part of the organization or group.  Thus the funding and resourcing of the service is shared and the providing department effectively becomes an internal service provider.

The next Evolution in HR Technology will be far more rebellious than the milder revolutions in the previous historical periods. No new technology since the dawn of the internet has captured the imagination like Blockchain and Chatbots. Imagine your TA team asks SIRI to find the next applicant for a certain role or ability of SIRI to do a compensation analysis based on your voice commands. Imagine you know for sure that each and every word written in a person’s resume is 100% correct and it’s next to impossible to counterfeit Resumes. Things are indeed moving ahead towards these directions. In fact, Recruit Technologies and Ascribe announced in April 2016, a strategic alliance to bring Blockchain Technology to the Human Resources industry to increase transparency and in turn address fraud in HR credentials. They are investigating the possibilities and practical uses of how Blockchain Technology can be applied to the human resources sector; they will begin by developing a

Demystifying “Intellectual Property”

According to World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols, names and images used in commerce. IP is an intangible asset to a company. It gives business partners and financial institutions the confidence to invest in or collaborate with the organisation. Non-lawyers often think that a same law applies/governs to patent, trademark, copyright etc. Well the truth is although all fall under a common umbrella called IP however these laws originated separately, evolved differently and covers different aspects. In Richard M. Stallman's article "Did You Say “Intellectual Property? It's a Seductive Mirage" he mentions that for instance, Copyright law was designed to promote authorship and art, and covers the details of expression of a work. Patent law was intended to promote the publication of useful ideas, at the price of giving t
