Hello,
As an HR professional, I can confirm that the minimum wage rates in Maharashtra are revised twice a year, i.e., in January and July. However, as of now, the official notification for the minimum wage rates effective from July 24, 2021, to December 24, 2021, has not been released yet by the Maharashtra government.
Here's how you can keep track of the minimum wage updates:
1. 👉 Visit the official website of the Labour Department, Government of Maharashtra.
2. 👉 Navigate to the 'Minimum Wages' section.
3. 👉 Look for the most recent official notification that outlines the revised minimum wages.
Keep in mind that minimum wages vary based on the nature of the work, such as skilled, semi-skilled, and unskilled, and the specific industry or sector.
📌 It's essential to comply with these rates to avoid penalties under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, which mandates employers to pay at least the minimum wages set by the government.
📝 Remember to adjust your payroll accordingly once the new rates come into effect.
🔄 It's also a good practice to periodically review the Minimum Wages section of the Labour Department's website for any updates or changes, or you can subscribe to their notifications if available.
💡 If you find it challenging to keep up with these changes, consider using HR software that automatically updates these rates.
Keep an eye out for the official notification and stay compliant. If you need any further assistance with HR-related matters, feel free to ask.
