If Service of a sweeper on contractors roll is required for 4 hrs a day whether he is entitled to receive minimum wages for the whole day or he should be paid for 4 hrs at an hourly rate arrived by dividing daily stipulated minimum wages by 8. If possible provide case laws/judgements/relevent provisions of the bare act.

In certain categories of employment, rate of wages is fixed by the appropriate authority per hour following section 3(3) (b) (i) of the Minimum Wages Act. Normally sweepers being part time employees, an hourly rate is usually permitted even if there is no specific notification. Therefore, paying wages for 4 hours by dividing the daily rate by eight will not be a problem.
