Dear Sir,

I am working as an HR Manager in one of the Leading Engineering Design Consultancy Companies. Our 50+ Engineers are placed in various MNC companies for onsite projects in CAD, CAM, and CAE. Five of my team members are working in one MNC, with educational backgrounds in DME and ITI Draftsman. Their daily task involves converting existing drawings into CAD format using AutoCAD.

I am seeking clarification on whether these employees should be categorized as Skilled or Semiskilled. My client/principal employer is insisting on placing these engineers in the Skilled category and paying PF on Basic+DA 7800+1624.

Please assist me in resolving this issue.

R. Prashant.

Dear Prashant,

The qualified engineers with a diploma or engineers are covered by skilled and highly skilled respective by virtue of their competency in the field employed either by the principal employer or clients. They are eligible for wages in terms of Minimum Rates of Wages as applicable to the Engineering Industries in the State. Please refer to the recent rates of wages. If you are paying over and above the minimum rates specified, you are welcome. But it should not be below the rates of minimum wages.

Dear Prashant,

The job these people are doing is definitely not a semi-skilled job. Based on the nature of the job assigned to them and their qualifications, they deserve wages in the skilled or highly skilled category.

Thank you all.

My employees are working on-site at the client's place. We work with all MNCs, and the agreement is for manpower on contract. I want to know if my client (Principal Employer) has the right to check my compliance and ask for any short payments in compliance.

Sir,

This is Pavan Kumar. I have a doubt about resigning from my company.

I have a 1-year bond with our company. I agreed and joined on 08-07-2013, so my last working day would be 08-07-2014. I have inquired twice about a salary hike, but there has been no response via email. Furthermore, I am prepared to resign, but there are no job opportunities available for me at the moment. I also have no time to attend interviews as my work hours are from 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM. Hence, no company would permit me to attend.

I am in need of a resignation letter format promptly, sir.
