Expert Compliance Support for the Code on Wages, 2019

The Code on Wages, 2019 brings significant reforms to India’s wage and compensation framework by replacing four key labour laws—Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, Payment of Bonus Act, and Equal Remuneration Act. The new code introduces uniform definitions of wages, new rules for minimum wages, bonus, overtime, working hours, and ensures fair & transparent wage practices across all sectors.

At Sankhla Corporate Services Pvt. Ltd., we offer comprehensive Wages Code Compliance Services to help organisations realign payroll structures, HR policies, CTC breakups, and statutory practices to fully comply with the new provisions of the Code on Wages.

Why Wages Code Compliance is Critical

The Wage Code mandates:
✔ Uniform wage structure (50% “Wages Rule”)
✔ Clear guidelines for allowances and CTC components
✔ New minimum wage framework
✔ Strict timelines for salary payments
✔ Mandatory bonus compliance
✔ Penalties for non-payment or delayed payment of wages

Non-compliance can lead to penalties, disputes, employee claims, audits, and financial liabilities. Our team ensures seamless transition and zero-risk compliance for corporates, factories, and establishments across India.
