4-day work-week, change in salary: India's new labour codes likely in FY 2022-23 (Hindustan times)

If the new labour codes are implemented, there's a likelihood that employees in India may be able to enjoy a four-day workweek from next year, as opposed to the current five-day workweek.

India is likely to implement four new labour codes on wages, social security, industrial relations, and occupational safety by the next fiscal year beginning 2022, according to a senior government official cited by the PTI news agency. Under these new codes, a number of aspects related to employment and work culture, in general, might change – including the take-home salary of employees, working hours, and the number of weekdays.

Please don't believe in fake speculative news. What you are seeing is typical clickbait, where the headline states something, but the details show that no one actually said such a thing; the headline is merely a product of someone's imagination.

India is definitely not moving towards a four-day work week.

Dear Colleagues,

As Saswata Banerjee has highlighted, a lot of misleading news is spreading about the new/proposed labor Codes. Hence, we need to rely only on the press release or information from the Ministry of Labor, Government of India.

While a 4-day workweek may not be possible in sectors like Manufacturing, it may be feasible in the Service Sector. However, we need to wait to see what the final outcome will be in the Proposed Labor Code. We will wait for the much-expected Labor Codes to be released. Many State Governments are still not ready with Rules under the New Labor Codes, as per the available information.
