Dear Jagan, Al labour laws refers "wages" and not "salary".
Salary is referred to compensation to higher level of employees/professional and is generally a fixed amount fixed for a year or longer duration. Wage is refered to hourly or daily compensation for manual/skilled workers.
Each act has its own definition of wages with specific inclusion and exclusions.
