Dear All,
Greetings from KLP Corporate Services! Please find the attached:
Karnataka Minimum Wages & DA for 2024-25
The Government of Karnataka has revised the Minimum Wages for the year 2024-25 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. This revision is to be implemented with effect from 1st April 2024.
Implementation Requirements
The class of employment and designation-wise calculations under the Shops & Commercial Establishments Act and Security Agency Act are enclosed for your reference. Kindly ensure that the revised minimum wages are paid to all employees deployed through contractors, so that they may pay it in turn to their deployed resources and sub-contractors. Contractors are required to revise their salary structures 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, please revise the salary for those coming under the ambit of the Minimum Wages effective April 2024.
Considerations for Fixing Minimum Wages for 2024-25
1) For daily wage earners, the minimum daily rates of wages should be calculated 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. A day's work is deemed to comprise 8 working hours. If workers are employed for less than 8 hours, say less than 4 hours, then at least 4-hour wages shall be paid. If they work more than 4 hours, they shall be paid 8-hour wages.
5) If any category of workers is not mentioned in this notification, they shall be paid based on the nature of their work.
6) Workers employed on the day of a weekly holiday as well as on National and Festival Holidays shall be paid double the normal rate of wages (Gross wages).
7) 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)
8) Any other benefit in addition to the minimum wages already extended to employees shall continue to be extended.
9) 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.
10) Under Section 6 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, employers shall ensure that wages to employees are directly credited to their respective bank accounts.
11) Wherever the establishment has engaged employees under The Contract Labour (Abolition & Regulation) Act, 1970, employers shall ensure the implementation of Minimum Wages under this Act and the applicability of all other applicable Acts to such employees.
