Dear HR Fraternity Friends,

Minimum rates of wages in Schedule of employment "Private Motor Transport", "Construction of Projects Including Dams and Multipurpose Projects", "Stone Breaking and Stone Crushing Operations, Construction or Maintenance of Roads and Building Operations" and "Security Services" has been revised by Government of Telangana, GOs enclosed for your reference. The rates specified in GOs shall come in to force with effect from the date of publication of this notification in the Telangana Gazette.

Definitely revision of minimum wages is a good move to employees working in various schedule of employment, however there would be onus on micro and medium employers. In Telangana the last revision of Minimum rates of wages was in 2015. Along with revision of Minimum rate of wages, DA points price hiked for each skill category, in the above said Schedule of employments. Least wage for unskilled security guard is Rs.18000 excluding DA. Many other guidelines issued along with revision of minimum wage

Hi Mr Ramesh,

I am very happy on your contributions to the HR fraternity. I just moved to telangana for a Job search.

I have few points to get clarified.

1. Can We change the extra mandays or OT hours for the Workmen to the Incentive part of the payment. If so kindly guide me.
2. As per the Factories act we are supposed to pay OT on 26 days but in practice it is being paid on 30 days how to replace the practice.
3. if any employer is paying 80% on PF and ESIC they are liable to be penalty. Correct me If I am wrong. If we are changing the contractor due to non compliance of EPF & ESI ( They are paying only 80% on Both)and the existing contractor has not paid the Compliance of EPF & ESIC in future Does Principal Employer is liable. Kindly guide.
4. If any company is not having the standing orders is that an offence. Kindly guide me.
