PANJIM: Admitting that there are several impediments which interrupt the smooth flow of business, the government wants to:
Allow ‘fixed term employment’ subject to the employees being Goans and enjoying benefits equivalent to those of full-time direct employees.
Allow self-certification, e-filing and consolidated annual returns as per Government of India guidelines to reduce the compliance timelines and issues.
Reduce the number of registers to be kept under labour laws and allowing electronic registers.
In order to empower women, change in regulations to allow female employees to work in shifts subject to transport being arranged by the industrial unit for female employees working after 8 pm.
