Double Overtime Pay, Timely Salary and Bonuses Directly into Accounts... CM Yogi Provides Major Relief to Workers The Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has introduced new labor regulations in Noida to address ongoing worker protests. These measures, announced after sustained demonstrations by employees against delayed wages and exploitative practices by private companies, mandate double overtime payments, timely salary disbursements, and direct bank transfers for bonuses. The reforms aim to ensure fair treatment of workers and establish a model for industrial labor reforms in the region. Key provisions of the new rules include: Double Overtime Payments: Employees working overtime must receive double their regular wages. No deductions are allowed in overtime compensation. Timely Salary Disbursement: All salaries must be paid in a single installment by the 10th of each month. Employers are required to provide salary slips to ensure transparency. Weekly Leave and Sunday Pay: Industrial units must grant one day of weekly leave to workers. If work is conducted on Sundays, employees will be paid double their regular rate. Women’s Safety Measures: Special committees for addressing sexual harassment complaints will be established, with female members leading these bodies. Workplaces must also install complaint boxes for immediate reporting. Bonus Payments: Bonuses must be directly deposited into employees’ bank accounts by November 30, ensuring timely and transparent financial transactions. The new rules were implemented in response to widespread protests in Noida, where workers had staged strikes for weeks over unpaid wages and unfair labor practices.#noida #uttar_pradesh #yogi_adityanath #workers_protests #industrial_authorities
