The Factories (Goa Amendment) Act, 2020, amends the Factories Act, 1948, in Goa to promote economic activity and employment. It raises the threshold for worker numbers that trigger certain regulations from ten or twenty to twenty or forty. The Act also allows the state government to exempt new factories from many provisions for up to 1000 days to encourage business setup. Additionally, it changes the Industrial Disputes Act to reduce the time limit for workers to file disputes about retrenchment from three years to one year, streamlining the process for resolving employment conflicts.
