Section Text
(1) The provisions of this Code
shall have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the time
being in force, or in the terms of any award, agreement or contract of service, whether made before or after
the coming into force of this Code:
Provided that where under any such award, agreement, contract of service or otherwise, a person is
entitled to benefits in respect of any matter which are more favourable to him than those to which he would
be entitled under this Code, the person shall continue to be entitled to the more favourable benefits in respect
of that matter, notwithstanding that he is entitled to receive benefits in respect of other matters under this
Code.
(2) Nothing contained in this Code shall be construed to preclude a person from entering into an
agreement with his employer for granting him rights or privileges in respect of any matter which are more
favourable to him than those to which he would be entitled under this Code.
