Labour Code Impact Assessment
How much labour-law liability is hidden in your payroll?
₹50 Cr? ₹500 Cr? ₹2500 Cr? Or more?
We analyse actual payroll data — not just policies — to quantify your real exposure.
Why this risk exists now
The New Labour Codes have redefined payroll compliance
Changes in labour laws now affect:
- Wage definitions that determine statutory contributions
- PF obligations linked to revised wage structures
- Gratuity liabilities tied to expanded wage components
- Contractor classification and principal employer responsibility
Payroll structures built under earlier laws can create mismatches between:
- HR policies and statutory wage definitions
- Payroll calculations and PF obligations
- Contractor arrangements and employer liability
Payroll errors can create significant liabilities
- Underpayments accumulate over time
- Interest and penalties increase exposure
- Retrospective claims can apply across large employee bases
Most companies discover liabilities during:
- Labour inspections
- Statutory audits
- Investor or M&A due diligence
By the time they are detected, the financial exposure has already accumulated.
The regulatory mandate
Mandatory financial impact assessment under the New Labour Codes
Mandatory impact assessment
Companies must reassess employee benefit liabilities due to the revised definition of “wages” (basic pay ≥ 50% of total remuneration) and gratuity eligibility for fixed-term employees after one year.
Immediate recognition of additional liabilities
Incremental gratuity and leave encashment liabilities arising from these changes must be recognised immediately as Past Service Cost in the Profit & Loss statement.
No deferral permitted
These liabilities cannot be spread over future periods and must be recognised in the current financial year.
Audit and disclosure obligations
Chartered Accountants must ensure these liabilities are assessed, quantified, and disclosed in financial statements.
The cost of waiting
Compliance now, or liability later
Companies that act early can:
- Align wage definitions with the Labour Codes
- Correct payroll calculations and PF obligations
- Address contractor classification risks
- Avoid retrospective liabilities and penalties
Companies that ignore the shift risk:
- Payroll calculations diverging from legal definitions
- Accumulating underpayments over time
- Interest and penalties increasing exposure
- Financial liabilities surfacing during audits or inspections
