Labour Ministry Forms A Panel To Discuss On The New Minimum Wage Fairs
The labour ministry has formed a committee to look again into the matters of fixing minimum wages to see that everybody is earning a proper living and the cost to maintain a minimum living standard and also the size of an average family.
Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that the committee sat before The
Central Advisory Board discussing the Minimum Wages Act in the meeting held in
New Delhi. The committee consisted of various members representing employers
and employees, industry stakeholders and trade unions.
The major points discussed in the
meeting were no caps in the present for minimum wages and the states having the
cap not following the wage. There has been no meeting regarding the minimum
wages in the past seven years, and with the unemployment rate and the increased
rate of living it has become important to look into the minimum wages for both
skilled and unskilled labour.
Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that the fixation of the minimum wage is
very important for every state. Every individual in our country deserves to get
his share of pay and a pay that is in response to the work he does, be it
skilled or unskilled. Not having any minimum wage rate gives the employers a
chance to exploit its employees. Minimum wages in every state is different, and
they are set in accordance to the cost of living in that particular state. For
example, in Delhi, the state government decided to hike the minimum wages for
the unskilled workers to ₹ 13,350 month against ₹ 9,724 per month earlier. For
the semi- skilled and skilled persons the wage has been increased to ₹ 14, 698
from ₹ 10,764 and from ₹ 11,830 to ₹ 16,182 per month.
The State uses the three- unit
system to decide the minimum wages. But this was made in 2010. Nirmal Singh 3C Company says that ever
since then, with then change in the economy and the blooming market, they make
claims that the three- unit system is not sufficient for the state to decide
because the children continue to stay with the family for longer periods.
After the Supreme Court’s
decision ruling that parents be taken care of by children in 2010, they said
that two more units should be added and then minimum wage should be decided by
the six- unit formulae rather than three, says Nirmal Singh 3C Company
