NO COMPANY HAS ANY RIGHT TO CARY OUT BUSINESS IF IT CAN'T ENSURE : LIVING WAGES TO THE WORKERS

WAGE is the money one gets after the job is done , it could be a piece-meal work , a day's work , casual work , seasonal work , temporary work , contractual work or a permanent job . In a piece-meal work - the payment is related to quantity of job assigned , daily wage earner gets his / her day's payment on completion of that day's work . At a permanent work place - at time certain odd job requirements arise and to meet this requirement casual worker is employed his / her payment is calculated on the no. of days worked he/she has put in . A seasonal worker is put to job for seasonal nature of work as of ' PYAOO ' in Rail-Ways - his / her payment is also on no. of days put in the job . A Probationer is the one under observation for the given time frame and if found satisfactory at his/her work is confirmed in the job , the payment in this case is on monthly basis . Then we have our permanent worker - who is paid on a monthly basis .

In this note two terms have been used quite often - day's work and monthly payment; ; this is what needs to be understood : ' A day means 8 hours of work time including lunch n tea breaks and a month is of 30 days .A Sales Promotion Employee is a permanent worker and gets his / her wages on monthly basis and any extra work he / she is made to do entitles him / her for payment of over-time wages which are double that of normal rates . To Protect the Workers from greedy and exploitative employers our Constitution made a provision for guaranteeing protection through Labor - LAWS and one such LAW is that of MINIMUM-WAGES ACT . NOW THE QUESTION ARISES AS TO HOW TO ARRIVE TO A PARTICULAR AMOUNT , being hand n glove and to be true being a tool of the Capitalist Class , though elected by the majority Working Class , the Minimum Wages declared by the Govt. from time to time have always proved below bare needs of a man to live with dignity - without which one is reduced to an animal existence .
