New Wage Code: Employees to get salary, full and final settlement in 2 days after resignation! Check details

New Delhi: The New Wage Code, which is likely to be implemented tomorrow, directs a company to pay the due salary and full and final settlement of wages within two days of the last working day of the employee. The dues will have to be paid by the company in two days in case of resignation, dismissal or removal from employment and services, the new rules say. Most companies currently take 45 days to 60 days to process the full and final settlement. It is a common practice followed by most firms. However, this is all set to change with the new wage code in place. 

Here’s what the New Wage Code says: 

"Where an employee has been - (i) removed or dismissed from service; or (ii) retrenched or has resigned from service, or became unemployed due to closure of the establishment, the wages payable to him shall be paid within two working days of his removal, dismissal, retrenchment or, as the case may be, his resignation."

If these labour codes are implemented, the new wage code will have an impact on all of the previously mentioned factors. Because these are still early speculations, nothing concrete should be infered until the government formally announces the rules.
