Dear Seniors,
As per Section 1(6) the payment of wages act is applicable to ee earning wages up to Rs 18,000/- only,
So if we consider the definition of wages given in the same act it is to be considered as "GROSS" wages so per this facts many ee will be out of the preview of this act.
If i am correct as said above then employees earning more than Rs 18,000/- wages will be governed by which act for the issues related to payment of wages and deductions?
Please provide insights.
Regards
