Dear Hemumanu;
In a wage settlement there are certain considerations from employer and employees.
1. What is the wage level in surrounding industries
2. What is the wage level within industries in your category
3. What is the capacity of the industry to pay
4. What is the contribution of employees in performance of company
5. What should be direct and indirect burden
6. What will be CTC
7. Period of settlement
8. What is to be achieved in the settlement
9. Should the settlement be 2(p) or 18(3)
10. Language of the settlement is local or Hindi or English
If these points are taken care of then progress of settlement will be easy.

Dear Colleague,
Wages settlement process is very important aspect to be handed with lot of home work and preparation as guided by the colleagues.
The amount of preparation internally is most important. I share a general process which may be of use for your work:
1. Forming an internal Team for data collection from cluster companies of similar process/ product / industry type
2. Checking any previous settlements or awards prevailing and what the terms of such documents
3. Presence of any Trade Union and what is their demand whether each demand is analysed and prepared with counter demands for productivity and such matters by management team
4. What is the paying capacity of the Business/ Industry and upto what extent it is healthy to go for increase year 1 /year 2/ year 3 and how to avoid giving in case on single year so that the financial burden will also spread
5. Whether any Wage Board Awards prevailing and need to be followed on Wages
6. How to bifurcate the increase proposed into different components in such a manner that it does not add too much of cost on Statutory contributions like PF, ESI, and so on.
7. What are existing components and how you propose to given increase in each bucket
8. Whether you follow DA system and what was the trend of increase in the past and how the escalation going to be as per prediction
9. Any work on giving portion of increase as Performance Linked Pay or as Incentives so that performance lined pay will be ensured
10. Control on Manpower cost - what is the % of wages cost per Ton of production or such comparable
11. Any key inclusions to be brought into the settlement from Management Side for safety, productivity and so on
12. Meeting the Conciliation Officer under ID Act and get his guidance and opinion with a draft proposal
13. Preparing a meaningful presentation and getting it accepted by a Team of Members from Management with Cross Functional discipline
14. Triggering discussions with Stake Holders
15. Drafting Draft Settlement after one or 2 key sittings of discussion / negotiation
16. When we give connect with productivity, performance, paying capacity, Industry's financial Health factor and future grown, sustainability and scope of industry in the near future.
