In adherence to the Minimum Wage Act of 1948 and subsequent notifications from the Labor Department, Chhattisgarh, a comprehensive framework has been established to ascertain fair wages for workers, particularly those engaged in agricultural employment. Recent updates reflect a diligent analysis of the All India Consumer Price Index, ensuring that wage adjustments align with the evolving cost of living. This Notification was published on 24/05/2024.
The revision in variable dearness allowance, factored in by the increase in the Consumer Price Index, guarantees that employees are compensated fairly for the economic fluctuations they encounter. Importantly, this adjustment maintains a balance between honoring existing wage rates and implementing necessary revisions, thus safeguarding workers from any adverse impacts. Furthermore, the inclusion of equal pay rates for both genders and provisions for rest days underscores the commitment to equitable treatment and labor rights. By upholding these standards, Chhattisgarh sets a commendable example in promoting dignified livelihoods and fostering a harmonious work environment.
