The Employment of Women, Young Persons and Children (Amendment) Bill was passed by Parliament on the 20th, following a six-hour debate on its Second Reading.

The amendment increases the fines for offences under the Employment of Women, Young Persons and Children Act No. 47 of 1956 from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 100,000, significantly increasing the financial penalties for non-compliance.

For businesses, this highlights the importance of maintaining proper employment, HR and payroll compliance and staying updated with changes to employment regulations.
