 Re: Contract Labour
Dear Shiva,
The Minimum Wages Act is a separate piece of legislation which notifies the Minimum Wages payable to a Class of Workers or Industry which is covered by the Schedule, on a bi-yearly basis. This schedule may vary from one state to another.
On the other hand Contract Labour Act deals with Contract Labour employment in industries to which the Act applies and Relevant State and Central Rules.
So, while deciding on payment of Minimum Wages please contact the Circle Labour Inspector for details. For example the Minimum Wages varies for the same class of worker in different regions of West Bengal.
The main thing to remember is that the status of employment i.e., contract, casual, badli have no effect or link with the Minimum Wages rate of a region.
Kind Regards,
