Security guard wage issues

Security guards are paid for 8 hours while working 12 hours and are not receiving the applicable minimum wages. They also work overtime and on Sundays without proper compensation. Additionally, uniform charges are deducted from their salaries. I need details on the corrective action process for this issue.

Hi, you can rectify it by doubling the wages. Alternatively, avoid calling the workers on Sunday or making them work beyond their scheduled hours.

Hi, are you from the employer side or the security agency side? If you are the HR of a security agency, you need to highlight the statutory requirements to your management and try to implement them.

Employment ID Numbers and Contractor Workers

5 out of the 7 workers sampled did not have employment ID numbers. Upon checking, it was noted that they are casual workers hired through contractors without yet being brought onto the company's payroll and covered under statutory benefits. It was learned that around 35 workers are employed through contractors, but their actual in and out times, actual wages paid as per the number of pieces provided, and the number of hours worked could not be verified.
