Hi Seniors,
This Supriya, I am working in a IT company, I have a small query, according to Payment of Wages Act every concern has to pay salary latest by 10th. We are paid salary every month by 15th.
I referred to the Payment of wages act and informed my Sr.Manager that we should pay the salaries atleast by 10th of every month. He asked me a counter question that it is for payment of wages and for Salary.
I am confused. Does a salaried person is not included in Payment of wage act?
Can a company pay salary at its will??
Please Help Me...
In hopes of getting help soon
Thanks & Regards
Supriya

Dear Ms.Supriya

To claime the benefit of the Payment of Wages Act regarding the time of payment of wages firstly your company should come within the ambit of the applicability clause of section 1(4) or section 1(5) of the Payment of Wages Act. Assuming that your company comes within the ambit of the sections referred above, your wage/salary per month cannot exceed Rs.10000/- If both these conditions are satisfied then you can claim that your salary should be within the time frame prescribed under the Payment of Wages Act. Otherwise, if the shops and establishments Act in your State is applicable to your company then that Act may contain a provision regarding the time of payment of wages. If the Shops and Establishments Act is not applicable to your company then you can look into the certified standing orders applicable to your company. If certified standing orders are not applicable then please check whether the appointment order contains a provision relating to the time of payment of wages/salary. Even if the appointment order is silent on this point, then nothing can be done.

Hi What the Due date of payment of wages under shop and establishment act ? Does that apply for all employees or for lower salary staff
From India, Mumbai

Dear Saswatabanerjee
Please see section 2(ii)(h) of the Payment of Wages Act. This Act is not made applicable to the shops and establishments straight away. In the case of shops and establishments, the Central or the State Government has to make the Act applicable by way of a notification. As far as my knowledge goes, there is no Central Government notification applying the provisions of the PW Act to shops and establishments. Please check whether the Government of your State had notified the application of the PW Act to shops and establishments. If there is a notification, then the time limit prescribed under the PW Act will apply. In case there is no such notification, please check the Shops and Establishments Act applicable in your State. This might have incorporated the provisions of the PW Act in the Shops and Establishments Act. If there is no such provision in the Shops and Establishments Act of your State, then the presumption is that there is no time limit.
