Dear Brother,
Main aspects of payment of wages to workmen
There are two main aspects of the subject of Payment of Wages to Workmen:
1. One aspect is the payment or transfer of earned wages to the workmen, which may be through bank account credit.
2. The other portion of the subject is providing a wage slip, showing the number of days worked, earnings, deductions, net pay, etc., apart from the important aspect of whether it meets minimum wages. As the question pertains to workmen, there may be a need to establish an authentic record for any reference purposes, inspection purposes, or to show to legal authorities in case of any dispute. At that time, the signature of the workers will become very useful and support the organization. This will be a necessity in case of any dispute under Payment of Wages or Minimum Wages related inspections/legal cases. It is a kind of acknowledgment and helps in clearing doubts or queries then and there for workmen regarding their wages and deductions.
3. If all these details (under Payment of Wages/Minimum Wages format-based breakups given in wage slip and register) can be furnished by email to the workers electronically/individually and if you are able to establish that they are receiving all the needed breakups, etc., then you may apply for exemption under the relevant State Labour Authorities or Central Labour Authorities as applicable to your establishment, exempting from maintaining the register and related signatures from the workers, etc.
All the Best,
