Dear seniors,
I do have some quarries regarding Payment of wages act as follows.
Some of my friends are working in construction based privet ltd company. They are drawing salary range between 20,000/- to 30,000/- as per their designations they fall under supervisor and above category (like Site engineers, admin/HR/Accounts officers, & site supervisors).
The issue is they are not getting their salary on monthly basis, as it’s a constriction based company they have to get their BILL AMOUNT from the Client after that only the management will release the due payable amounts. But they will claim the bill by quarterly some time more than that.
So, the employees will get their salary once in every 2 or 3 months ( that too sometimes one month salary due, sometimes they get total salary payable amount, sometimes company hold 1 or 2 months’ salary based on payable months)
In above case how payment of wages act can help to those employees as they are above the slab of 18000/- (as per PWA on or before 7th of every month salary payable must done in case of less than 500 employees). Is there any law to protect to support? Even they are not getting PF & ESI as they are above the slabs. That company has only WCP. What kind of benefits they get from WCP if they get any accidents or health issues?
Kindly suggest me
Thanks & regards,

Wages Act hardly has anything to do with it, there is a difference between between regular employees and commission based workers, if they are commission based workers then they will be under the umbrella of the establishment for recognizing purposes only, to give them the authenticity to deal with the business matters, other than that it is just the give and take system they practice, if they are regular employees you need to go through the employment agreement for accurate details, ask your friend a copy of it and you will know the terms and conditions, payment details etc......... Sometimes the developers pay their employees once in two months or three months when they are undergoing losses, this was common in past 3years, but now it's improved...... most of the establishments clearly mention that you can earn only when you can sell....... so if you wanna know in specific, it is inevitable to go through the agreement...... and payments also differ from what kind of job they perform, if it is purely commercial them mostly commission, for legal, HR, or Admn. they usually pay the fixed amount plus incentives; and it has nothing to do with what kind and who are the clients of the establishment it's purely a different aspect.........
