Every worker has the right to minimum wages fixed by the government. Employers paying less violate the law.
The Minimum Wages Act ensures workers receive wages not below the government-fixed minimum. Rates vary by state, industry, and skill level. The Act covers scheduled employments and applies to both organized and unorganized sectors. Employers must maintain registers and display wage rates.Minimum Wages Law
