Minimum Wages Act
The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 empowers central and state governments to fix and revise minimum wages for scheduled employments in India. HR and payroll teams must ensure that basic wages plus dearness allowance meet or exceed the notified minimum rates for the applicable category and location. The Code on Wages, 2019, which subsumes this Act, provides for a universal floor wage across all sectors.
