INTRODUCTION
Social Security
A very small portion of India's workforce is covered by a very minimal social security
system. Indians have always turned to their in the event of illness or other bad luck. However,
family ties are looser and family are much they used to be as a result of migration,
urbanisation, and greater social mobility. State or commercial insurance providers haven't
quite stepped up to close this gap as of now.
The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and the Employees State Insurance
Corporation are India's (ESIC). The EPFO manages an insurance programme a provident
fund, commonly a pension plan. All of these are designed to provide benefits for old age,
disability, and support in the event that the major earner passes away for EPFO members and
their families.
The ESIC, covers low-wage workers and offers them access to social security and basic
healthcare programmes. The coverage, which factory workers, expanded to encompass larger
segments of the population, members in hospitals or educational institutions.

Any legal actions to protect a person's or family's income or to supply income when all or
a portion of one's sources of income are interrupted or lost, or when one must incur
unusually high expenses (e.g., in bringing up children or paying for health care).
Those who experience disease, disability, unemployment, crop failure, the death of a
spouse, maternity, parental responsibility for young children, or retirement from
employment may be eligible for cash benefits from social security.
Benefits from social security may be given in cash or kind for medical needs,
rehabilitation, domestic assistance while illness at home, legal aid, or funeral expenses.
It serves as a facilitator by assisting with planning and providing insurance.
Organized sector
Includes principally those businesses that are governed by the of 1946, the Shops and
Commercial Establishments Acts of the State Governments, and the Factories Act of
1948, among other laws.
Under the aforementioned laws, this sector already receives social security payments.
Examples: employees of Union and State Government, Army, Navy, Air-force,
Multinational companies, Infosys, TCS and so on.
Unorganized sector
The unorganised sector is not subject to labour laws. These jobs are seasonal and transient
in nature.
Because of the temporary nature of employment and frequent labour mobility, bargaining
strength is minimal.
Illustrations of Disorganized sector; landless agricultural labourers, forest workers, rural
artisans, street vendors, hawkers, cobblers, construction workers etc.

Social security in India is managed by the federal and state governments. It is divided into
three categories and comprises of a variety of statutory insurances and social grant
programmes. Employer- and joint-paid are followed by non-contributory and taxpayer-
funded.
Thanks to the 2020 Social Security Code, the system has since been become universal.
These offer Indians sufficient social safety in a range of situations. India's social security
system is recognised most generous in the world among developing countries.
Both the official budget of India's Central Government and the budgets of the institutions
responsible for managing social security both include sizeable expenditures on social
security and welfare. Governments at the state and local levels are also involved in
developing and implementing social security programmes. Additionally, several state
governments operate supplementary, separate welfare metric systems.
The unique identifier (Aadhar) that each Indian possesses is used by the Indian
government to deliver social programmes. There are two types of social protection
programmes in India: social aid and needed social security contributory programmes,
which are frequently connected to employment (in the form of welfare payments in cash
or kind funded by taxes).
The Indian Labor Code contains a section titled "Code on Social Security, 2020" that
addresses the social security of employees. It outlines the guidelines for medical
insurance and benefits, sick pay and leave, unemployment benefits, and paid parental
leave. It also covers provident funds and retirement pensions. The Employees' Provident
Fund Organization is one of the biggest social security programmes backed by and
provides life, disability, retirement, and sick pay benefits. In addition to providing health
insurance and unemployment payments, the Employees' State Insurance programme also
provides sick leave.
Another choice is the National Pension System, which is gaining popularity. They payroll
deductions. However, of 2013 ensures food security for all Indians and is funded by
regular taxes. With the adoption of code by the Indian Parliament, the disjointed social
security system was universalized and resembled systems of developed countries more.

Employees' Provident Funds
It is, 2020's most prominent social security organisation, providing social safety to the vast
majority of employees. It oversees three employee and worker social security programmes in
India. Such a retirement strategy is referred to as provident finance. All private and self-
employed people are required to contribute under the Employees' Provident Funds and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act of 1952 (civil servants are covered by the Civil Servant's
Pension System).
Under this statute, the employee is required to donate 12% of his or her monthly salary, the
employer is required to match that amount, required to contribute 1%, for a total contribution
of 25% of the employee's gross pay. The payments support a pension plan, a mandated
provident fund, as well as disability and life insurance.
Employees pay a full 12% of their salary into the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme (EPF),
and the employer contributes 12% of the employee's salary, of which 3.67% goes into the
Employees' Provident Fund, 8.33% into the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), 1% goes to
the government, and 0.5% goes into Employees' Deposit-Linked Insurance (EDLI). When the
employee reaches the legal retirement age, they are allowed to take both the amount
contributed to the provident fund and any interest that has accumulated.
In the event of death or injury sustained at work, the dependent or disabled employee receives
a monthly pension for the remainder of their lives. The pension plans post-retirement years,
the employees would get at least a minimal pension. Currently, the retirement age for all
EPFO-affected businesses is 60 years old. In general, the approach is to pay the worker 50%
of their prior earnings.

Employment (MOLE) is one. The MOLE places great importance on the resolution of
complaints, which is why it established a Nodal Public Grievance Cell in the Ministry to
handle, forward, and coordinate action on public complaints at the Ministry level.
The complaints are routinely evaluated by the Ministry's top level of Secretary/Additional
Secretary (L&E). Anyone who has a complaint about the Ministry or any of its organisations
may submit it to the Ministry physically or online through the CPGRAMS Portal by
providing all necessary information. Instead, they might send their complaint in writing to the
Ministry through the Public Grievance Officer.
The Nodal Public Grievance Officer is an officer at the Director level who is in charge of
monitoring all public grievances at the Ministry level. The Nodal Public Grievance Officer is
directly responsible to a Director level officer who oversees the PG Cell. Similar to this, each
of the Ministry's various organisations, including the EPFO, ESIC, the Chief Labour
Commissioner (Central) Organization, etc., has a Nodal Grievance Redressal Officer at the
headquarters level who can be contacted by resentful parties at the addresses and phone
numbers listed on the website of the appropriate organisation.

effect model method that connects leaders' motivational communication—specifically,
direction-giving, empathetic, and meaning-making language— by linking theoretical ideas
from various disciplines, including public relations, organisational communication,
psychology, and management, to employees' organisational participation during times of

subsequent crisis coping mechanisms in order to explain the process underlying the effects of
leader communication on employee engagement.
