Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
We are suppliers of manpower, currently paying the state-notified minimum wages to our employees who are stationed at our clients\' locations. However, some of our clients in the manufacturing sector are not adhering to these state minimum wages. Instead, they insist on us implementing the national floor level minimum wages, which currently stands at Rs.176.
Could you kindly provide clarity on the applicability of National Floor Level Minimum Wages in our situation?
Thank you,

Dear V.Annakumar,
The National Floor Level Minimum Wage (NFLMW) in India is a non-statutory measure to ensure a national level of minimum wage below which no state government should fix their minimum wages. This means it serves as a benchmark, but it's not legally enforceable.
However, the state governments are free to set minimum wages for various categories of employment - which must be more than the NFLMW. As a manpower supplier, you are obligated to pay your employees at least the minimum wage set by the state government where your employees are working, even if they are stationed at a client's location.
If your clients insist on implementing the NFLMW, it's important to note that this should not result in a wage lower than the state-notified minimum wage. If the NFLMW is higher than the state's minimum wage, it would be a good practice to follow it, but if it's lower, you should stick to the state's minimum wage.
In case of any disputes, you may refer to the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, which governs the minimum wages policy in India. If necessary, consider seeking legal advice to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Remember, it's crucial to maintain transparent and open communication with your clients about these regulations to ensure a harmonious working relationship.
