Protect Wage Document For Free

ILO and UN Conventions Conventions that exist on minimum wage are the following: ILO Protection of Wages Convention, No. 95 (1949): The convention establishes that wages must be paid in legal tender at regular intervals and sets out other requirements for fair pay processes for workers.

Section 3 of Minimum wages Act, 1948 lays down that the Appropriate Government shall be empowered to fix the minimum rate of wages in a manner which is prescribed in the Act. It shall fix the wages which has to be paid to the employees employed in employment under Part I and Part II of the schedule.

Payment of Wages Act, 1936 The Payment of Wages Act of 1936 governs how wages are paid to employees (direct and indirect). The statute is intended to protect employees from unlawful employer deductions and/or unjustifiable salary delays.

(1) In the case of workers whose wages are calculated on a piece-work or output basis, the maximum intervals for the payment of wages should, so far as possible, be so fixed as to ensure that wages are paid not less often than twice a month at intervals not exceeding sixteen days.

The protection of wages was the means to ensure that the benefits of industrial growth would lead to the economic betterment and social regeneration of the labouring population, further ensuring social justice (Thakur 2007).

Wages shall be paid regularly. Except where other appropriate arrangements exist which ensure the payment of wages at regular intervals, the intervals for the payment of wages shall be prescribed by national laws or regulations or fixed by collective agreement or arbitration award.
