The Bill received approval at the Committee meeting of the Ministerial Consultative Committee on Labour chaired by Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva in Parliament today (9).

Retirement of private sector employees was often based on the terms of the agreement between the employer and the employee.

The Second Reading Debate pertaining to these Bills are scheduled to take place in Parliament on the 11th.

State Minister Piyankara Jayaratne, Members of Parliament John Seneviratne, Vadivel Suresh, Ashoka Priyantha, V. Radhakrishnan were present at this meeting.
