Dear HR Professionals and Seniors,
We have searched to find the current minimum wages for contract labor under The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, and the Andhra Pradesh Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Rules, 1971. However, we could not find the exact current minimum wages. We have only found information on the Central Sphere dated 01.10.2016.
Is this information from the Central Sphere on 01.10.2016 correct according to the regulations of contract labor under The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, and the Andhra Pradesh Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Rules, 1971? We have obtained a contract labor license from the Office of the Licensing Officer and Joint Commissioner of Labor, Guntur Zone, Guntur.
Are the minimum wages specified in the Central Sphere on 01.10.2016 applicable to the Guntur Zone Contract Labour Office, or is there a different minimum wage rate being followed in this region? If there are any current minimum wages specified by the Guntur Zone Contract Labour Office for contract labor, please provide the details.
Thanks with Regards,

Understanding Minimum Wages for Contract Labor
Contract labor is not a scheduled employment but an arrangement to get work done. Therefore, you will not find a minimum wage separately for contract laborers. What you have to do is take the work done by these contract laborers and pay the minimum wage applicable to that employment.
For example, if you have deployed labor to do welding jobs, you pay the minimum wage applicable to welders. If you have deployed gardeners, you pay wages as applicable to gardeners. Similarly, if you have individuals performing loading and unloading activities, you pay wages applicable to loaders.

Minimum Wages and Dearness Allowance for Contract Workmen
Please find attached a copy of the AP Govt Gazette dated 19th March 2012, where the Andhra Pradesh Government has notified the minimum wages exclusively for contract workmen. Furthermore, in another Government Order dated 7th November 2012, the AP Government has stated that the revision in Dearness Allowance (DA) for contract workmen will have to be done once every six months, similar to other workers. We have also included the latest press note on DA for your reference. Should you require any additional assistance, support, details, or documents, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please read the notification carefully. The notification states that the prescribed rates should be paid to contract workers engaged in activities where no separate Minimum Wage rate has been fixed. This means that if you have a contract worker doing a specific job for which the minimum wage has been set by the government, that wage should be paid. On the other hand, if there is no such rate available, you can pay the wages as per the uploaded notification.

The querist had asked for minimum wage applicable for the contract labor, and he did not mention the industry where he had deployed the contract labor. Normally, governments are notifying minimum wage industry-wise and not for category-wise. For example, welders, gardeners, or loading and unloading workers are fixed with different wages and DA in different industries.

Clarification on Contract Labour Wages in Andhra Pradesh
I am a bit confused. In Andhra Pradesh, contract labor wages are fixed separately, with CPI points being common. However, the rate per CPI point mentioned for contract labor is Rs. 6.55 for unskilled, Rs. 7.75 for semi-skilled, Rs. 9.50 for skilled, and Rs. 11.85 for highly skilled workers. Similar rates are available for office staff. CPI points are published every six months, and the Labour Department calculates wages based on these points. Furthermore, workers are classified under US (Unskilled), SS (Semi-skilled), S (Skilled), and HS (Highly Skilled). As correctly stated, the DA points published for the period from 1-10-2016 to 31-3-2017 are 1208. In the case of Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Natraj is in the correct line.
