Labour202640 sections

This Act modernizes labor administration in Madhya Pradesh by replacing outdated enactments with a unified, digital-first framework. It simplifies business compliance through a one-time, intimation-based registration system and promotes worker welfare through structured safety, health, and working hour regulations. The law establishes advisory committees and welfare boards to support both organized and unorganized workers, including gig and platform laborers. It introduces a facilitator model for enforcement, prioritizing compliance and rectification over immediate punishment for minor lapses. For citizens, it ensures clearer workplace rights, protection against coercive practices, and streamlined access to social security and welfare benefits.
