Dr. S Ambhore, Dr. Dilip Arjune, Manish Pawar, Dr. A Pawar

Abstract :

In India, till now, there is no uniform and comprehensive wage policy for all sectors of the economy. Wages in the organized sector are determined through negotiations and settlements between employer and employees. However, in unorganized sector, where labour is vulnerable to exploitation, due to illiteracy and having no effective bargaining power, minimum rates of wages are fixed or revised both by Central and State Governments in the Scheduled Employments falling under their respective jurisdictions under the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948. The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 was enacted to regulate payment of wages of employees, employed in Industry and to ensure a speedy and effective remedy to them against illegal deductions and or unjustified delay caused in paying the wages on seventh day of the month in case of industries employing less than one thousand employees.
