Hi,

We are a start-up. We supply housekeeping and shopkeeping staff. Currently, we have only 10 staff members. I wanted to know what is the minimum wage I must pay them according to labor law?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Chandana Hyma. Will there be a problem if I pay my staffs 8000/month. Because they are willing to take thAt amount. If yes what is the procedure.

Yes, paying anything less than prescribed under the MW Act is a violation thereof and is illegal even if the employees take the amount.

If you pay an employee more, I do not think they will object anyway.

This is an unskilled category. The rates will not be so high for unskilled employees in Chennai. It is around 228 per day in Tamil Nadu (can't find for category A specifically), so the same for Chennai city can't be so high.
