Can you clarify two issues for me with respect to daily wagers employed by a private company:
- Is there a minimum/ maximum period a daily wager can be employed before being absorbed as permanent / temporary employee, especially of the daily wager has been employed continuously for a period of approx 15 days each month including day/night shifts over a duration of 2-3 years?
- The Min Wage Act specifies wages of Rs 100/- per day plus V.D.A. It also specifies min wages payable for a period of 26 days. So if a person works for a 8 hour shift by day and is also required to spend the night in the company premises for a requirement early next day, is this to be considered two days or 1.5 days for payment of wages? What is the amount applicable as V.D.A in such case?
thanks,

Daily wage is a system of wage payment. If the work is not regular you can appoint daily rated workers without any restriction.
If a worker works for 8 hours in the day shift and the same worker is asked to continue for a further period till morning, then the extra hours beyond eight hours will be treated as overtime and for that he will be entitled to double the rate of wages. Double the rate means two times the normal basic wage and VDA.
