Abstract:

An important turning point in employment reform has been reached with the recent introduction of four comprehensive labor codes in India. Although these codes’ main goal is to simplify and update antiquated laws, it is still unclear how well they address new workplace issues, especially those related to mental health. This study examines how, in the Indian context, these new labor laws and mental health compliance interact. This paper aims to clarify how labor law can change to better support workers’ psychological well-being in the contemporary economy by looking at the provisions, pointing out any gaps, and offering potential solutions.
