Hi Team,

Can you please confirm what salary we need to pay to skilled employees under the Minimum Wages Act for the Kanpur location?

As per the online information, it's ₹10,628 gross, but we currently do not fall under PF and ESIC deductions. So, can we pay them ₹7,500 - ₹8,000 in hand until we come under PF and ESIC deductions?

Hi,

Latest Minimum wages for Shops & Establishments in Uttar Pradesh Effective from Date: 1st Apr, 2020 Updated As On: 6th Apr, 2020

Class of Employment Basic Per Month VDA Per Month Total Per Day Total Per Month Unskilled 5750.00 2875.00 331.73 8625.00 Semi-skilled 6325.00 3162.50 364.90 9487.50 Skilled 7085.00 3542.50 408.75 10627.50

Also, see the attached circular whether it helps you (I am not familiar with the Hindi version). Regarding contributions to EPF/ESIC, if your labor strength is 10 or 20, you should have registered with authorities. But if your labor strength is not 10, then it's a different issue. Depending on the applicability to your firm, you have to deal with the matter accordingly.

Payment of Minimum wages is mandatory whether EPF/ESI is applicable to your firm. Hence, you should not restrict the MW on this aspect. Please examine all the relevant factors.
