Labour20205 sections

The Contract Labour Bihar Amendment Act of 2020 regulates the employment conditions of hired contract workers in the state of Bihar. It applies directly to businesses and contractors that employ contract labor. The amendment increases the threshold for the law's applicability from twenty to fifty workers. This means that establishments employing fewer than fifty contract laborers are now completely exempt from this regulation. Designed to boost economic activity and attract new industrial investments after the pandemic slowdown, this change matters because it eases the regulatory compliance burden for smaller businesses while reducing legal protections for workers in those specific setups.
