Any employees who are being engaged under Fixed-term employment - what minimum wages equal to Permanent workmen should be given.

For example, if we hire a fresher under Fixed Term and the junior-most workman, having 5 years of experience working in the same organization with the same qualifications, is currently earning 25 thousand rupees. When he started his career as a fresher in the organization, he was paid Rs 15000/-. What wages should be paid to Fixed Term employees now.

I am not able to understand your question. Could you please explain it clearly?

Minimum wages are notified by the state government from time to time and have nothing to do with whether the person is a fixed-term employee or a permanent employee.

Dear Girish,

Statutory minimum rates of wages are fixed employment-wise based on the parameters of decent subsistence of the employee and his family so as to enable him physically and mentally to keep up the efficiency required for any work he undertakes. Therefore, the fixation of minimum wages does not take into account the classification of employees such as temporary, trainee, casual, permanent, or contract-based.

Coming to your query, as more experience in any job would naturally enhance the efficiency level of the employee, it cuts down the cost of constant supervision, increases the quality of output, and thus ensures indirect benefits of the operations of the establishment in all possible respects. Therefore, a higher start would automatically attract more experienced new employees and ensure their long stay in the organization irrespective of their nature of appointment, whether regular or fixed-term contract basis. Hence, it is a matter to be decided on an individual basis.

Other than what Mr. Umakanthan M has mentioned, I would like to add the following:

1. For a fresher on a fixed-term contract basis, in my opinion, it should be approximately 80% of 25k if the employee does a similar nature of job, i.e., 20k as the baseline of 15k, which was five years before and has obviously been escalated.

2. For experienced candidates, it would be by negotiation.
