The Payment of Bonus act, 1965. this PPT has inclusion recent amendments and is done from the view point of students. If anything has been missed out, do let us know through comments.
ThankYou
Gratuity is an old age retiral social security
benefit. It is a lump sum payment made by an
employer to an employee in consideration of
his past service when the employment is
terminated. In the case of employment coming
to an end due to retirement or superannuation,
it enables the affected employee to meet the
new situation which quite often means a
reduction in earnings or even total stoppage of
earnings. In the case of death of an employee,
it provides much needed financial assistance
to the surviving members of the family. Gratuity
schemes, therefore, serve as instruments of
social security and their significance in a
developing country like India where the general
income level is low cannot be over emphasised.
Presentation will be useful for industry practitioners, students as well as auditors. It provides a quick and easy reference to all the operational provisions of the act.
All the four Labour Codes have now been passed in both the houses of the parliament and President's assent obtained. As industries across India are busy decoding the codes, they are also trying to understand the possible impact the could make, when the date of commencement likely shortly, is announced. They would like to make policy decisions, if need be, to stay compliant because of the introduction of the Codes.
Employees Provident Fund And MIscellaneous Provisions Act , 1952Mohd Zaid
The Employees Provident Funds Bill having been passed by both the houses of the Parliament received the assent of the president of india on the 4th march 1952.
It came on the statue book as the Employees Provident Funds Act , 1952.
Now it stands as The Employees Provident Funds And Miscellaneous Provisions Act , 1952 ( 19 of 1952 )
A bonus payment is usually made to employees in addition to their base salary as part of their wages or Salary. While the base salary usually is a fixed amount per month, bonus payments more often than not vary depending on known criteria, such as the annual turnover, or the net number of additional customers acquired, or the current value of the stock of a public company. Thus bonus payments can act as incentives for managers attracting their attention and their personal interest towards what is seen as gainful for their companies' economic success. There are widely‐used elements of pay for performance and working well in many instances, including when a fair share of an employees participation in the success of a company is desired. There are, however, problematic instances, most notably when bonus payments are high. When they are tied to possibly short-lived figures such as an increase in monthly turnover, or cash flow generated from an isolated marketing action, such figures often do not reflect a solid reliable win for a company, and they certainly do not reflect a manager's lasting efforts to the company's best. On the contrary, such figures are prone to being adjusted or even manipulated to the benefit of those employees who are responsible for reporting them, while they are already planning their leave with a golden handshake.
The Key Changes in The Payment of Bonus (Amendment),Act 2015
(a) The official amendment provides that the benefits of the Act would be deemed to have come into force on April 1, 2014, instead of April 1, 2015.
(b) The employee’s eligibility limit enhanced from Salary of Rs.10000/- Per Month to Rs.21000/- Per Month w.e.f. 1st April 2014.
(c) The BONUS calculation ceiling limit enhanced from Rs.3500/- Per Month to Rs.7000/- Per Month or the minimum wages for the scheduled employment, as fixed by the appropriate Government, whichever is higher w.e.f. 1st April 2014.
The official amendment provides that the benefits of the Act would be deemed to have come into force on April 1, 2014, instead of April 1, 2015.

• For startups, the government announced Labour Law exemption up to three years.
• Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said, “Start-ups have been exempted from nine Labour laws
for a period of three years to promote and incentivize the entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
• They will be allowed to self-certify compliances.
• They will be exempted from inspection under BOCW, Inter-State Migrant Act, Payment of
Gratuity, Contract Labour, etc.
• 44 labour laws are being consolidated into four labour codes. Out of these four, two have been
finalized and the other two are underway. The two codes on social security and working
conditions will be finalized within a month.
• Under the PF Act, the new rate of interest is now declared as 8.8%.

• The proposed amendment to the Industrial Disputes Act will allow companies employing up to
300 workers to fire or hire employees without seeking any government permission. Note: The
earlier limit was 100 workers.
• Creating a labour union will become more difficult as 30 per cent of workers will be required to
sign up for its creation. Previously, only 10 per cent of the workers were needed.
• In the Apprentices Act, the government is seeking to expand the scope of employment for
apprentices on the shop floor.
Year How much an apprentice will get
First Year 70% of what a semi-skilled worker gets
Second Year 80% of what a semi-skilled worker gets
Third Year 90% of what a semi-skilled worker gets
13. Labour Law Amendments in Other States…
• The Madhya Pradesh (MP) government has proposed amendments to eight labour laws,

BOCW Workers Cess Act, the Child Labour Act, and the Inter-State Migrant Workmen and Motor
Transport Workers Act.
• The Haryana government is getting major labour reforms cleared in their next assembly session
to push the Contract Labour Act, which will require only units with more than 100 workers to

required to do so.
• As a shift in archaic labour laws, the Karnataka state government is ready to allow all women to
work night shifts, which is currently limited to only those employed with IT/ITES companies.
• ESI will launch a scheme for the unorganized sector workers. This scheme will be launched on a
pilot basis for autorickshaw drivers in Delhi and Hyderabad.
14. Impact of Amendments
• Now, companies have the flexibility to hire or fire employees to adjust to the supply-demand
scenario that exists in the market. Loss-making businesses can be dumped without delay or
without loss of precious resources.
• With the reduced thresholds for labour union memberships, inter-union conflicts and multiplicity
can be reduced or even completely avoided.
• As anticipated, business chambers in India have welcomed these changes as a positive step to
encourage employment generation and focus on production.
• The Confederation of Indian Industry has stated: "We have been recommending these key
reforms for bringing in simplification and flexibility in engagement and deployment of labour,
which should be the two key cornerstones for any labour law reforms.”
15. Minimum Wages Act

Minimum Wages Act and the UP Government Minimum Wages Act for the last quarter.
