Applicability of the Minimum Wages Act for Employees Performing Pest Control Work in Noida and Ghaziabad

Our company's registered office is in Delhi, and we operate from there. Our field workers, who perform pest control, carry out their work in Noida and Ghaziabad. Which Minimum Wages Act will be applicable for their salaries?

The Minimum Wages Act, 1948, in India is a state-specific law, and the wages are determined by the respective state governments. In your case, if your employees are performing their duties in Noida and Ghaziabad, the minimum wages applicable would be as per the rules of the Uttar Pradesh government, as both these cities fall under the jurisdiction of Uttar Pradesh.

However, it's important to note that if your employees are also working in Delhi, the Delhi Minimum Wages Act would apply for the days they work there.

To ensure compliance, you should keep track of the days your employees work in each location and pay them according to the respective state's minimum wage laws for those days.

For the most accurate information, you should refer to the official websites of the respective state governments or the Ministry of Labour & Employment. You can also consult with a labor law expert or legal advisor to ensure full compliance with the law.

Dear Member,
Welcome to CiteHR. Employees working in Delhi will get minimum wages declared by Delhi Govt. & employees (field boys) working in UP state will get minimum rates of wages as fixed by the UP Govt. if your work is covered in any of the schedule employments declared by the UP Govt. under minimum Wages Act, 1948 & the Rules made thereunder.

1. As per you your Company's registered Office is in Delhi.
2. Further,you operate from Delhi and your staffs are visiting nearby areas, which are happened to be in other states.
3. The field boy are performing pest control work in Noida and Ghaziabad (areas under UP state) being in Delhi office rule.
4. Therefore, the Minimum Wages Act of Delhi will be applicable for payment of wages & salaries.
5. Because your staffs are enrolled in Delhi and doesn't have a separate office in operating States.

In facts of this case, if your all the employees are enrolled at your Delhi office & the field boys are being sent to UP state area then in our opinion you are to pay minimum rates of wages as declared by the Delhi Govt. For sending the employees on duty at any other place which is not their regular place of working then you are to pay TA/DA to them.
