Wages Compliance.
The Payment of Wages Act, 1936 and the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 have been replaced by the Code on Wages, 2019, which applies to all employees whatever their pay. Each month we maintain the statutory registers, check wages against minimum wages, and keep wage periods, payment timing, deductions and wage slips within what the Code and your state's rules allow.
Monthly, alongside payroll. Registers are updated within a few working days of salary being paid.
