we have permanent employees under union in engineering industry and they are having salary above minimum wages i.e., Rs. 5704.70+ 2898.70 (D.A)= 8603.40 and contract workmen having salary 3130 + 2898.70 (D.A)= 6028.70 as on 01/03/14 and on 03rd march 2014 as per notification the minimum wages were revised as below
basic - 6000 + D.A 1624 = 7624 (Unskilled)
the same revision we gave to the contract workmen who were below minimum wages (3130 +2898.70 =6028.70)
to permanent employees as per settlement with them they were liable only to the increase part of special allowance which is declared six monthly on jan and july of each year and hence this Rs.1624 rise in D.A was not given to them.
as per notification dt-06/08/14 the D.A for period 01/07/14 to 31/12/14 was declared to Rs.1652 than the rise to be given will be Rs.1652- 1624 = 28, the same was accepted by contract workmen but permanent union employees do not accept the same they demanded Rs.1624 form 03/03/14 and Rs.28 from 01/17/14 total 1652.
i want to know whether that Rs.1624 rise in between six months period i.e. 03/03/14 to 30/06/14 is laible to union employees who are above minimum wages and what will be the D.A amount for period 01/07/14 to 30/06/14 to be given to union employees.
please clarify me and help me.

Minimum wages is to be viewed as a total package and there cannot be separate compliance of basic pay or DA. So long as you are paying more than the min. wage as a total package, the claim for separate compliance with respect to increased DA is not sustainable as per the Act.

but want to know the D.A declared for period 01/07/2014 to 31/12/14 Rs.1652 means D.A difference Rs.1652-1624 = Rs.28 is liable to workmen who are above minimum wages as as per settlement they are liable to only increase part of special allowance which is declared for six months period of jan and july.
please clarify and in this matter there is any law, case or judgement that the workers above minimum wages are not laible for increase in D.A Rs.1624 in between period for 03/03/14 to 30/06/14.
