Hi,
As per employment laws, every employee will be entitled to one day off with wages after 6 continuous days of work. The working hours can not exceed 48 hours per week. Any additional working hours will be governed by overtime rules.
So, employees on permanent employment will be paid as per agreed monthly wages as per their appointment terms. Daily wagers will be paid as minimum wages notified & will be paid for the additional 1 day after every 6 days of work.
Payment of wages act does not differentiate between workers hired through contractor or directly hired by the employer. The act applies universally to both.
However, calculation of gratuity amount is done basis 26 days.
