Fixed-term workers to get benefits on par with permanent staff under new Labour Codes: Niti Aayog

Fixed-term workers, who are loosely termed as contractual workers, will get benefits on par with the permanent workers as the four new Labour Codes came into effect last week, Niti Aayog Member Rajiv Gauba said on Wednesday.

Gauba said the new Labour Codes are win-win for both employees and employers.

“..from the perspective of the employers, they have the facility now to engage fixed-term workers without any restriction on sectors or the number of employees. So that will be a huge incentive for them to create more employment opportunities,” Gauba told ANI when asked to explain the major significance of the four Labour Codes.
