2. SC clears way for Haryana to implement 75% job quota law.
The Supreme Court has set aside the stay that the Punjab and Haryana High Court had ordered to stop the implementation of the 75 per cent job quota in Haryana. The road is now clear for the state government to put in place the job quota, which allocates 75 per cent of privately-held jobs, up to a certain level, in the domicile of Haryana to local candidates. The top court told the State to not take any “coercive steps against the employers”.
The apex court pointed out that the high court order, which issued a stay on the ‘Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Bill’, has been put aside as the court did not find sufficient reasons for staying the law.
The High Court had issued an interim stay on the law earlier in February. The state government took the matter to the Supreme Court. Earlier, they had enacted the law across the state on 15 January, 2022.
The Act dictates that once it is in effect in Haryana, every employer shall employ 75 per cent of the local candidates with respect to such posts where the gross monthly salary or wages are not more than Rs. 30,000
3. Kotak introduces New Mother Benefit Policy.
Any mother who returns to work post child delivery practically leaves a piece of her heart at home.
To support the commitment of working women, Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (KMBL) has introduced a New Mother Benefit policy, that will offer financial support to new mothers for a period of one year after return to work to help them set up a reliable support system for new born and mother herself.
Under the New Mother Benefit policy, all KMBL women employees – referred to as Kotak Wonder Women - will get an allowance every month for a period of 12 months.
The child care allowance will start from a mother’s return month, post maternity leave. New mothers who are new joinees as well as those who have recently adopted a child will also be eligible for the benefit.
Women employees account for nearly a quarter of our bank workforce. Kotak has always been sensitive to developing a better work culture for Kotak Wonder Women. We also offer flexible work hours, flexible work opportunities and other arrangements for Kotak Wonder Women. We endeavour to keep doing more and more on this front. The New Mother Benefit policy is a proactive step to address this need of our women employees. We want to support them in better managing their careers as well as their children's lives,” said Sukhjit Pasricha, President & Group chief human resource officer, Kotak Mahindra Bank.
