India’s labour law framework is undergoing a historic transformation with the implementation of the Code on Social Security, 2020 under the new Labour Codes regime.

In this podcast, we discuss the impact of the new wage definition, gig workers, platform workers, and the role of Artificial Intelligence in the future of employment in India.

The Code on Social Security, 2020 consolidates multiple social security laws and introduces coverage for gig workers, platform workers and unorganised workers, which is a major reform in India’s labour law framework.

One of the most important compliance changes is the uniform definition of “wages” across all Labour Codes, which significantly affects:

• Provident Fund (PF) contributions
• ESI coverage
• Gratuity calculations
• Bonus eligibility
• Salary structuring by employers
• Gig Worker
• Wages under Labour Codes

Under the 50% wage rule, if excluded components exceed 50% of total remuneration, the excess amount will be treated as wages for statutory benefits.

The Social Security Code also creates a new framework for gig workers and platform workers, requiring digital aggregators to contribute towards social security funds.

In this episode we discuss:

✔ New wage definition under Labour Codes
✔ Impact on take-home salary
✔ PF, ESI, gratuity implications
✔ Social security for gig workers
✔ AI & future of employment
✔ Compliance strategy for employers and HR professionals


This discussion is extremely important for HR professionals, compliance officers, labour law practitioners, consultants and startup founders.
