While the definitional framework seeks uniformity across labour codes, it introduces a problematic classification that lacks a clear rational basis and may result in unequal access to statutory benefits among similarly placed employees. This classification raises concerns of constitutional equality under Article 14 and creates compliance uncertainties for employers by imposing additional regulatory burdens.-Reproduced
