Payment of Wages Act
The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 regulates the timely payment of wages without unauthorised deductions for specific categories of workers in India. The Act prescribes wage periods, payment modes, and the maximum permissible deductions, and provides an appeals mechanism for aggrieved employees. The Code on Wages, 2019 has subsumed this Act, extending its coverage to all employees across sectors.
