Contract labour are paid less then minimum wages by contractor, major reason for this exploitation of worker is ,contractors are not getting profit.
Why contractor are not getting profit '?? Bcoz tenders are awarded to lowest bidder L1 bidder,contractor will not get contract if he quotes rates including proper profit. Competition is so tough that he have to quote minimum as low as 1 paisa profit.
Result of this is labourers are paid less then minimum wages.
So to solve this problem can principal employer prepare a minimum basic profit. And award tender to contractor who quoted above that prepared rate and disqualify bidder who quoted below that rate.
Or plz suggest if there is any other solution to this problem.
Waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thanks .
