Proof of Employment is Power

In this episode, Gautham and Winonna from the Center for Social Justice discuss an important yet often overlooked aspect of the new Labour Codes — proof of employment.Through a worker’s lens, the conversation explores two key documents that form the foundation of formal employment: appointment letters and pay slips. These documents are not merely administrative requirements; they play a crucial role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and protection for workers.The episode reflects on why these documents matter for workers, what the new compliance expectations under the Labour Codes mean for employers, and how formal documentation can strengthen trust and fairness within workplaces.As the conversation continues, the next episode will explore another critical aspect of worker protection — grievance redressal mechanisms, and how workplaces can create systems where workers feel safe to raise concerns.
