Understanding Minimum Wage Brackets for Tailors: How Are They Graded and Paid?

jayshah123
I was wondering if anyone knew whether labor (specifically tailors) in a garment manufacturing company had a specific bracket for the minimum wage? If so, where is it listed?

Minimum Wage for Tailors by Skill Grade

However, more importantly, since tailors in the industry are graded according to their skill (i.e., A+, A, B+, B, C, Trainee), does anyone know the minimum wage for each grade or a market standard to follow? Is there a government-defined lowest standard for an A+ tailor?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just to add, because the above seemed a bit vague, what I am really looking for is to know whether the government, through some act or law, has stated a defined minimum wage for the different categorizations of tailors in a garment manufacturing company. For example, must an A+ tailor receive Rs 7000, while a C Tailor only has to be paid above Rs 5400 per month? Or does no such distinction exist legally?

As I am currently creating a labor skill matrix in my organization and want to create an equal pay for equal skill concept, this information would be extremely helpful. In addition, if anyone knows what the average pay scale for tailors is, that would also be very helpful.

Thanks,

Jay

Garment Manufacturing Salary Structure Inquiry

What will be the Garment Manufacturing Salary Structure, including Office Staff? Does it calculate based on Minimum Wages Base or Shop & Est Salary Base? How can we revise the salary for a Garment Factory to avoid Government inquiry and prevent any loss to the company?

Please advise on the above.

Thanks.

Dear Sir, thank you very much for your reply. No, I am from Maharashtra. I want to know whether we should pay the basic salary as per the Minimum Wages Act or the new PF ceiling of 15,000. If we pay according to the Minimum Wages Rate, PF will be based on the basic of Minimum Wages, which will be less. However, if we pay according to the 15,000 ceiling rate of PF, the cost becomes higher. So, what is the correct and practical solution you can advise me on?

Thanks & Regards,
