Dear all,
I want to have clarity on the Minimum Wage Act. Can we bifurcate the minimum wage into HRA, conveyance, or other allowances? I have read all the articles on Cite HR and other sites but didn't get a satisfactory answer. All the judgments are contradicting each other. Please also confirm whether the PF department-issued notifications or the Minimum Wage Act should be considered while preparing the salary structure. All the judgments passed are by high courts of various states. The Supreme Court decision is still pending; can we consider those as well?
Punjab and Haryana High Court judgment - favoring the employer - 01/02/2011, stating we can bifurcate the wage. Madras High Court favoring EPFO - 07/06/2011, stating we can't bifurcate the wage; it should be basic + D.A. only. Your expert advice would be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance.
