Frequently asked questions

When did the new Labour Codes come into force?

The four Labour Codes were brought into effect on 21 November 2025. Central rules have since been notified, and states are notifying their own rules, so timelines differ by state.

Does the 50% wages rule affect my payroll?

Under the Codes' definition of wages, excluded allowances generally cannot exceed 50% of total remuneration; the excess is added back to wages. This can raise the base for PF, ESI and gratuity, so many employers are restructuring salary components.

Is this check legal advice?

No. It is an awareness tool that highlights likely gaps. A Maslo compliance specialist can review your actual position.

Is the check really free?

Yes. You see your score and gaps without sharing details. You only share contact details if you want a detailed review.

Does Maslo help fix the gaps?

Yes. Maslo supports payroll structure review, appointment letters, registers and returns, and runs a compliance platform (Compliance360).
