A senior labour ministry official said advertisements will be released in the newspapers soon for appointing, on temporary basis, consultants with deep domain knowledge.
The labour ministry will rope in consultants to advise it on framing the rules under three new codes on industrial relations, social security and occupational safety & health. These codes subsuming 25 central labour acts were passed by Parliament last month.
A senior labour ministry official said advertisements will be released in the newspapers soon for appointing, on temporary basis, consultants with deep domain knowledge. Based on the response, suitable candidates will be chosen as consultants.
“There will be no appointment on the nomination basis,” said the official.
The ministry has already set up three committees headed by three joint secretaries in the ministry. There will be an additional 6-7 members in each committee.
Draft rules under the code on wages, passed last year, are already out for comments from the stakeholders. Code on wages proposes universalisation of minimum wages.
