Reimbursement of Allowances to Contractors
Is hardship allowance, tunnel allowance, leave pay, and overtime to be reimbursed to contractors? Is it a statutory component of minimum wages?
In our contract agreement with contractors, only minimum wages are payable as notified by the appropriate government. The contractor is paying all the above allowances in addition to minimum wages, EPF, and ESI.
Should we reimburse only minimum wages, ESI, and EPF only? Please advise. I belong to CPSE.
