      3. providing a favorable environment for doing business.

      • Bill provides for one common Registration for establishments online in a simplified procedure.
      • It empowers the Government to make rules regarding adequate measures to be taken by the employer for the safety and health of workers.
      • The Model Bill seeks to propose a number of welfare provisions including provisions for drinking water, lavatory, crèche, first – aid, and canteen facilities and employer’s responsibility for health and safety of the workers.
      • It puts a cap that employees can work for a maximum of 9 hours a day and 48 hours a week, and up to maximum overtime of 125 hours in a quarter.
      • It exempts highly skilled workers (for example workers employed in IT, Biotechnology, and R&D division) from daily working hours.
      • It would bring about uniformity in the legislative provisions across the country and facilitate the ease of doing business and generate employment opportunities.
      • It provides paid holidays for the workers which will be 18 days Earned Leaves, 8 days Causal Leaves, weekly holidays and 5 festival leave in addition to National holidays.

      Impact

      • The provision of operating 24X7 is expected to boost up the retail market across the country and will give customers flexibility and convenience to shopping at any time.
      • The enhancement of working hours with adequate provision for the protection of the workers will give rise to the requirement for additional manpower which will result in additional employment.
      • It is expected that the Model law if adopted by State will lead to growth in jobs, especially in the retail, IT, hospitality, and services sector.
      • The Model bill would help the small shops from the restriction of opening and closing working hrs and weekly close days.
      • The uniformity in legal provisions across States/UTs will enable the employers to have uniform HR and leave policies across all establishments in various States and UTs.
      • It would promote fair competition among the States in improving the Governance and ease of doing business.
