Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Nagaraj Krishnan, Managing Director, Aparajitha Co porate Service Private Limit ed said, “The concept of bonus and gratuity act became a sta tutory payment governed by the provisions of Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and Payment of Gratuity Act, 1971 and are important to labor laws that recognize the rights and value of an employee. However, the disruption and its effects on industries and work due to this pandemic have seen many several states announce drastic relaxations to certain labor laws and have also come out with notifications and ordinances containing exem ptions from compliance with a few labor laws.
While these relaxations give more flexibility to employers and business owners to sustain losses during this crisis period, it threatens the social security and rightful income of the employee. Although the situation is bad and recovering from it might take a long time. It is important for the workforce to know what is happening from a Compliance Point of View so that they are not taken advantage of. ”
