New Labour Codes in India
Presenters: Alok Agrawal, and Atul Mittal
Date: 26 February 2026, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM SGT (GMT +8)

The four new Labour Codes have been implemented in India in November 2025 and have replaced 29 different legislations. This is a landmark reform that has wide-ranging implications for employers across industries & sectors, both from a financial & non-financial perspective. HR leaders should review their workforce composition and evaluate costs vs benefits of using contract workers and fixed-term employees. Rewards leaders need to revisit their compensation & benefits structures as well as policies. Finance leaders need to assess the additional cost implications from these changes, and budget for them. Payroll teams need to evaluate changes to the processes.

As the Government is expected to issue the final Rules under the four Codes in February/ March 2026 and expect compliance as per new rules immediately, it's critical for all employers to understand the changes and prepare themselves accordingly.
