In this, there was a demand to increase the earned leave of employees from 240 to 300. However, the government has not yet made any announcement on this.
Government can make this announcement regarding employees
A decision was also to be taken on the demand raised by labor unions to increase the limit of PF and earned leave. People associated with the union want the limit of earned leave to be increased from 240 to 300 days. New laws related to labor reforms were passed by the Parliament in September 2020. Now the Central Government is trying to implement these as soon as possible. The rules of Labor Code also include basic salary being 50% or more of the total salary etc. This will change the salary structure of most employees. If basic salary increases, the amount deducted in PF and gratuity will increase. This will reduce the salary in hand. This can increase the PF fund received on retirement.
