If Basic wages of an permanent employee is lesser than a contract labour, will it be violation of Minimum wages act?
It will be a violation of the Minimum Wages Act not because the worker of the contractor is getting more than the wages of an on-roll worker, but because an employer is not expected to pay any wages that are less than the notified minimum wages.
