- Promoting ease of compliance with labour laws.
- Supporting the Ease of Doing Business framework.
- Addressing evolving needs of the changing industrial landscape.
The move is a part of broader labour reforms adopted by the UT Administration to foster a balanced, fair, and progressive work environment.
Public Participation Encouraged
The administration has invited suggestions, comments, and views from employers, employees, industrial associations, trade unions, and the general public. This inclusive approach seeks to ensure that the final regulation reflects the concerns and expectations of all stakeholders.
