Yes, your trust can be covered under the Gujarat Minimum Wages Act provided it adheres to the stipulations of the Act. The Act applies to all employees working in the scheduled employment under the government of Gujarat.
Here are the steps you should take:
1. Familiarize yourself with the Gujarat Minimum Wages Act: It's important to understand the provisions of the Act, which stipulate the minimum wages that should be paid to different categories of workers in Gujarat.
