Government hikes minimum wage for contract workers to Rs 10,000.

Government hikes minimum wage for contract workers to Rs 10,000.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment informed Lok Sabha that the wage hike has been done based on a Supreme Court verdict.

NEW DELHI: The minimum wage for contract workers has been increased to Rs 10,000 per month, Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya said today.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment informed Lok Sabha that the wage hike has been done based on a Supreme Court verdict.

Asserting that the government is committed towards the betterment of the working class, he said workers are being protected through all the rights.

“Recently, we have increased minimum wage to Rs 10,000 at the national level taking into consideration the Consumer Price Index and Dearness Allowance. This was based on the verdict of the Supreme Court. We have linked this increase of minimum wage to pension and bonus,” he said during Question Hour.

On April 17, Dattatreya had said the government would bring out an executive order to ensure that contract workers get a minimum wage of Rs 10,000 per month.

“It is the endeavour of the central government to make reforms in labour laws and to proceed from minimum wage to universal wage. Because the Opposition is not cooperating in Parliament, we will do it through an executive order,” he had said.

“We have taken a decision to make changes to rule 25 of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Central Rules. Every contract worker will be entitled to get Rs 10,000 per month,” Dattatreya had said.

    Greetings

    There is some confusion in my mind.
    Contractual worker has same qualification and experience as a regular worker.
    Contractual worker does all duties as a regular worker.
    At present contractual worker is using Biometric Attendance System (BAS).
    Then why a contractual working is being paid very less rather than a regular worker ?
    Do you think that a contractual worker can marry in this salary ?
    Do you think that a contractual worker can buy home in this salary ?
    Do you think we can bring equality in our society ?
    At least we should think twice about this matter.
    When we talk about rich and poor, we should think that how can we bring equality in our society by raising salary of contractual worker so that at least he could live a normal life.

    Thanks & regards

    my answer to you will be that regular employees have proved their talent by clearing the competitive exam and hence they deserve to earn more but yes, govt should think about contractual workers and hence their wages should also be increased

    Sir condition in compassionate appointment in Mcd is horrible. Regular employees in Mcd taking three times salary than contractual employees. Education level of regular employees is Max 12th.

    Me too has cleared competitive exam but still sincerely and hard working on contract past 3 years. And as regards to regular employees, some departments have officers who are under qualified. (ex. Sub Registrar who actually deals in legal matters and needs to be minimum Law Graduate is promoted/recruited with qualification as 12th pass)
