Are Your Salary Structures Truly Compliant?
Most organizations are still designing compensation structures based on outdated practices. But the Code on Wages, 2019 has fundamentally changed the rules.
The 50% wage rule is now unavoidable
Basic wages must form at least 50% of total CTC. Ignoring this exposes you to legal and statutory risk.
Special Allowance is no longer flexible
Structuring salary to park components under Special Allowance may no longer hold up under the new code.
Incorrect structuring increases PF, gratuity & compliance exposure
Non-compliant structures silently inflate your statutory obligations and create long-term financial liability.
What worked earlier may now be legally vulnerable
Legacy salary designs built before 2019 need a thorough compliance review under the Code on Wages.
If any of these sound familiar, this eBook is exactly what your team needs.
