Dear Korganokar,
Surely, it will have an effect on Form IV under the Payment of Wages Act annual return. Until the year ending 2012, we showed their wages as less than 10,000 for written purposes. Now, we will replace it with 18,000.
To clarify, the figure of 18,000 refers to the provision under subsection 6, section 1 of the Payment of Wages Act. This covers only those employees earning an average wage of 18K per month (including all deductions), which will be effective from October 2012.
All the best,

Dear Mahesh ji,
You are absolutely correct. The Annual Return in Form IV under the POW Act will now pertain to persons drawing gross up to Rs. 18,000/- per month.
Thanks and regards,

The impact is that more employees will be under the PW Act. More employees will come under the hammer of section 9 of the Act, i.e., 8 days' wages deduction for concerted absence. In factories, more workers holding positions of management or supervision or holding confidential positions will be eligible for OT wages.

Dear Varghese Mathew,
Could you please inform me that in the case of an employee's absence without notice under Section 9 of this act, the employer can deduct salary for up to 8 days?
I have a question regarding whether the company can take action in the absence of one employee or if a minimum of 10 employees are required.
Thank you.

Dear Mahesh,
According to section 9(2) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, we can deduct up to 8 days' wages. The relevant portion of this section may be read as follows:
Sec 9(2) - Provided that, subject to any rules made in this respect by the appropriate Government, if ten or more employed persons acting in concert absent themselves without due notice (that is, without giving the notice required under the terms of their contracts of employment) and without reasonable cause, such deduction from any such person may include an amount not exceeding his wages for eight days, as may be due to the employer in lieu of due notice.
