This is very Good Platform, I thanks to the Cite Team,
Dear Madhu.T.K , Thank you very much ; what you have mentioned is a very good interpretation pursuant to labour laws.
However some one may expect from the creator of law as "rate/s as defined by minimum wages Act must be an entitlement of all workmen engaged in production, and increase in DA should become an right to get increased (DA) by law".
As a result the minimum wages should be expected as applicable to all industry workers as per minimum wages Act, and any sum being paid in excess of that should be considered as a separate allowance beyond Basic +DA. The purpose to say here is that :
1. every production workman should be covered under minimum wages act. 2. Production workmen should get basic+DA as per minimum wages Act only, as defined by Government time to time. 3. Any increase / efficiency allowance increased needs to be kept out side the limit of minimum wages Act.
4.OR There is need to request to The Government to amend minimum wages Act , to compute minimum wages with respect to years of experience of any workman, for example A workman is having 10 years experience and worker B is having experience of 1 years in such case minimum wages needs to be differently decided for both the workers with respect to the years of service /experience.
The minimum wages act should be applicable for industry / production/ manufacturing or to any employee whos salary is below minimum wages Act at the time of increase in DA.
Kindly you may put your comments if feels it fit.
