We have a small fabrication facility in Palghar near Mumbai where we employ casual workers. Now we intend to absorb some of the workers on our payroll. I am thinking of taking them as Trainees (eg Trainee Welder, Trainee Fitter etc). Now while deciding their wages, do I have to follow the minimum wage rate? Can you tell me, for semi skilled/skilled workers, what is the minimum wage rate prevalent in Maharashtra at present?
Thanks for your help.

Dear Harshad,
Your query shows that were not running your unit according to the labour laws. At present also you want to absorb some of your casual employees. You are not aware of your State minimum wages. Moreover it is clarified that if you want to appoint the casual workers as trainees then you are to give minimum wages as fixed for the unskilled workers during the period of training & thereafter you are to appoint them in the category of worker for which you will impart training to them. For Maharashtra State minimum wages you may open the site paycheck.in or you may contact your local labour office.
I hope that now onward you will give attention on proper enforcement of various labour laws.
Opinion submitted as requested.

Dear Mr. Khola/Praveen,
Thank you for your responses. I will surely ensure enforcement of the laws immediately. Also Praveen your point is noted.
Now on paycheck.in, the minimum wages are divided in Zones. How ae these zones defined? I could not find any details of the zones on the website. Can you please help?
