Certainly, we have to pay minimum wages to a laborer. These wages cover the labor and related issues. Please find enclosed the Tripartite Committee report for you. I hope this will help you understand more about minimum wages, as you have raised basic questions about them. I have attached the same. There have been many changes made since then. You will have a good understanding of minimum wages and never doubt them at a later date. This is the basis that will help you in many ways.
Best of Luck.

Understanding Minimum Wages
Minimum wages refer to the lowest wages that should be paid to employees, without which a company has no right to exist or do business. These wages are regulated through the Minimum Wages Act. The state governments have been given the power to notify minimum wages applicable to different industries in their respective states. Accordingly, different states have notified different scheduled employments and have fixed minimum wages applicable to different categories of employees in these scheduled employments. The number of scheduled employments may vary from state to state. Similarly, the minimum wages applicable to the same industry in different states may also vary. Therefore, you have to refer to the state notification of minimum wages with reference to the industry concerned to know exactly what the bare minimum wages are that you should pay to different categories of employees.
Minimum wages are not just applicable to workers; the notification is expected to specify the wages to be paid to supervisors and even managers. Since these are the minimum wages, there is nothing illegal in paying higher wages to any employee. Also, if any employee is receiving a higher wage than what is notified by the government, they are expected to get protection of the existing higher salary.
