The Haryana Government's Gazette Notification does indeed mandate that all units, irrespective of whether they fall under the Shops Act or the Factories Act, should now pay their employees by crediting their wages directly into their bank accounts.
Step-by-Step Guide on How to Implement this:
1. First, you'll need to collect the bank account details of all your employees. Ensure that you have their account numbers, bank names, and IFSC codes.
2. Next, coordinate with your bank to set up a payroll system. This will allow you to transfer wages directly to your employees' bank accounts.
3. Once the payroll system is in place, you should inform your employees about the new payment method to ensure they check their bank accounts regularly for their wages.
4. Lastly, maintain a proper record of all transactions for future references and to comply with any audit requirements.
Please note that this is an important step towards digitization and transparency in wage payments. It ensures that employees receive their wages in full and on time, and it provides a clear paper trail for auditing purposes.
Do remember to comply with all the requirements of the Payment of Wages Act when implementing this change. In case of any disputes or issues, you can refer to the act itself or consult with a legal expert to ensure compliance.
