Minimum Wages for Contract Workers
Is it compulsory for principal employers to provide minimum wages to contract workers? What are the potential repercussions if the principal employer neglects to pay? Currently, a principal employer, who has a set budget for remunerating contract workers, is not interested in complying with the state's prescribed minimum wages. However, the service agreement stipulates that it is the contractor's duty to ensure payment standards are met. How is this feasible? What actions can be initiated against such employers?
