Basic Salary Will Be 50% Of Gross Amount
Although the labour law has reduced the number of days, it is to be noted here that the working hours are not changing. Thus, in the four working days, the working hours might vary from 10 to 12 hours. Coming to the salary part, the new laws state that the basic salary will be 50% of the gross amount. The PF contribution from the gross salary will thus increase. The gratuity fund value will also see a hike.
