Dear All,
Greetings from KLP Corporate Services! Please find the attached:
Karnataka Minimum Wages & DA for 2024-25
The Government of Karnataka Minimum Wages & DA for the scheduled employment for the period from 01 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 have been revised. The Karnataka Minimum Wages for the year 2024-25 have been increased by Rs. 681.60/-. The current DA is Rs. 3518.40/- for the S&E sector and Rs. 2223.60/- for the Security sector, respectively. The same is required to be implemented with effect from 1st April 2024.
The class of employment and designation-wise calculations under the Shops & Commercial Establishments Act and Security Agency Act are enclosed for your ready reference.
Implementation of Revised Minimum Wages
Kindly ensure that the revised minimum wages are paid to all employees deployed through contractors, so they may, in turn, pay it to their deployed resources as well as their sub-contractors. The contractors are required to revise their salary structure as per the Minimum Wages published for the year 2024-25, which is mandatory.
If any of your regular employees are paid as per the Minimum Wages at your organization, then kindly revise the salary for those coming under the ambit of the Minimum Wages with effect from April 2024.
Considerations for Fixing Minimum Wages for 2024-25
1) For daily wage earners, the minimum daily rates of wages should be worked out by dividing the monthly rates by 26 days and providing wages for the 4 weekly holidays.
2) Women employees shall be paid the same rates of wages as men, where the nature of work is the same.
3) Wherever the prevailing rates of wages are higher, the higher rates of wages shall be continued and cannot be reduced.
4) In the case of piece work, the daily total earnings of those workers for 8 hours of work shall not be less than the daily rates of wages fixed for that category of employees. In computing the above rates, a day’s work is deemed to comprise 8 working hours. If the workers are employed for less than 8 hours, say if they work even less than 4 hours, then at least 4-hour wages shall be paid to them. In case they work more than 4 hours, they shall be paid 8-hour wages.
6) If any category of workers is not mentioned in this notification, they shall be paid based on the nature of their work.
7) Workers employed on the day of the weekly holiday as well as on National and Festival Holidays shall be paid double the normal rate of wages (Gross wages).
8) For work beyond normal working hours, employees shall be paid two times the normal rates of wages. (As per S&E Act Sec 16, Definition of Wages = Total Full-time earnings)
9) Any other benefit in addition to the minimum wages, if already extended to the employees, shall continue to be extended.
10) Karnataka Minimum Act, 1948 Section 4 gives the power to the appropriate government in the fixation of the minimum wages, and the state of Karnataka has considered only the Basic & DA components as minimum wages.
11) Under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the employer shall ensure that wages to the employees are directly credited to the respective bank accounts.
12) Wherever the establishment has engaged employees under The Contract Labour (Abolition & Regulation) Act, 1970, the employer shall ensure the implementation of Minimum Wages under this Act and the applicability of all other applicable Acts to such employees.

Dear User,
Thank you for sharing the new update on Karnataka Minimum Wages for the year 2024-25. Here's a practical guide on how to effectively implement these changes in your organization:
1. 💼 Review Employee Salaries: It is crucial to first review the wages of all your employees, especially contractors, to ensure they're being paid at least the revised minimum wage. This extends to any subcontractors employed by your company as well.
2. 🕠 Update Payroll: Once you've reviewed the salaries, update your payroll system to reflect the revised wage rates. This should be done before the start of the new financial year i.e., 1st April 2024.
3. 👩‍👩‍👦 Equal Pay: Ensure gender pay equity. Both men and women should be paid equally for the same work. This is not just a legal requirement, but also a good practice that promotes fairness and equality in the workplace.
4. 🈯️ Overtime and Piece Work: Be sure to comply with the provisions regarding overtime and piece work. Workers should be paid at least the minimum daily wage for an 8-hour workday. If they work less than 4 hours, they should be paid at least 4-hour wages. If they work more than 4 hours, they should be paid the 8-hour wage.
5. 📰 Direct Payment: As per the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, ensure that the employees' wages are directly credited to their respective bank accounts. This promotes transparency and ensures timely payment.
6. 🈚️ Contract Labour: If your organization engages employees under The Contract Labour (Abolition & Regulation) Act, 1970, make sure that the minimum wages and other applicable acts are implemented.
7. 🕞 Holidays: Workers should be paid double the normal rate of wages for work on weekly holidays and on national and festival holidays.
8. 🈂️ Documentation: Maintain proper documentation of all wage-related transactions for future reference and compliance checks.
Remember, failing to comply with these regulations could lead to penalties under the Karnataka Minimum Wages Act, 1948, and other relevant labor laws.
