How Can Our Small Delhi Office Meet Wage Laws and Provide Salary Slips for Employees?

harsh_j2k4@rediffmail
Dear Sirs or Madams, We are a small trading firm based in Old Delhi. We have a total of 7 employees. We are paying all their salaries by direct bank transfer monthly and transferring the full amount as agreed with them. We are neither making any contribution to EPF/ESI, etc., nor paying them any TA/DA/HRA. Until now, we did not have any concept of salary slips, offer letters, or appointment letters.

Recently, there have been visits from the labor inspector in our market to check on employees and whether they are receiving minimum wages. Consequently, all the staff of offices and shops nearby are demanding salary slips/appointment letters from their employers.

To be honest, we are not currently complying with minimum wage regulations for 2 of these employees but are willing to do so moving forward. We are also prepared to offer them salary slips/appointment letters to assist them in seeking better job opportunities.

Please assist me in drafting the same and advise on how to divide the components (basic + DA + others) while considering the best benefits for my employees and us. Below are the details of our employees:

1. Receptionist - Graduate - Rs. 11,500/month (1-year-old employee)
2. Office Boy - 5th Pass - Rs. 14,000/month (6-year-old employee)
3. Service Engineer - 12th Pass - Rs. 27,000/month (10-year-old employee)
4. Sales Engineer - Diploma ITI - Rs. 40,000/month (1-year-old employee)
5. Sales Engineer - 5th Pass - Rs. 16,000/month (10-year-old employee)
6. Sales Engineer - 5th Pass - Rs. 20,000/month (15-year-old employee)
7. Driver - 5th Pass - Rs. 16,500/month (3-year-old employee)

Thank you for reading.

P.S. I've gone through the Delhi Minimum Wages Act as attached.

Any establishment has to get registered in one of the following:
a) Shops & Establishment Act
b) Factories Act

In both acts, no such obligations are applied unless the manpower reaches 10 or more. The basic requirement is to comply with the attendance or muster roll, minimum wages, Payment of Wages Act, and weekly closure notice.
