Confused About Wages for Security Staff: Should We Pay Engineering or Non-Engineering Rates?

Hi all, we are a manufacturing unit in Rudrapur. We are paying our manpower contractors as per minimum wages (engineering units), which are higher than the normal minimum wages for non-engineering units. Please guide us on whether we need to pay the security service provider based on engineering unit wages or non-engineering unit wages because we are paying for guards and not for technical work.

There are separate minimum wages for security guards. Please refer to the Uttarakhand minimum wages for security guards.

Thank you.
