Dear Member,
In our opinion you are to pay minimum rates of wages as applicable to the unit where your workers are working. If your workers are working in any of unit covered under the Factories Act, 1948 & simultaneously Minimum Wages Act, 1948 & Payment of Wages Act, 1936 is also applicable then you are to maintain all registers & record relating to these Acts but without duplicacy. In Haryana state under The Haryana Contract Labour ( R&A) rules, 1975 rule 77(d) says that if registers names as muster roll, register of wages, overtime, deduction, fines & advance are maintained under this Act then there is no need of maintaining these registers under Payment of Wages Act & Minimum wages Act. Thus we have to go through all applicable Acts & Rules & maintain registers without duplicacy.
