Relief for employers: New labour codes slash jail provisions to 22
New labor codes significantly reduce imprisonment provisions for employers, from 87 to 22, with most offenses now compoundable. This aims to ease compliance while strengthening worker protection. The reforms introduce "improvement notices" before prosecution and decriminalize procedural violations, fostering a more facilitative regulatory environment.
