Abstract
Fixing fair and suitable piece rate as per the Minimum Wages Act-1948 is a complex issue. Minimum Wages Act was enacted in 1948. This is one of the earliest Labour Legislations in India. The Minimum Wages Act – 1948 is a welfare act applicable to the workers in formal and informal sector. The act aimed to protect rights of the workers of earning minimum wages who have less bargaining capacity and likely to be exploited. However, a large section of workers is out of the scope of this act even today. The appropriate Government may fix the minimum wages on basis of Time rate and Piece rate. However, the piece rate workers are not getting fair wages due to several reasons. There are many sectors where piece rate system prevails such as Bidi making, Brick kiln, Agate industry etc. The piece rates are generally calculated and fixed up by the employer due to less bargain capacity of workers. The present paper addresses the issues involved in calculation of Piece rates in context to the Minimum Wages Act 1948 and its implementation constraints in Agate Industry of Khambhat Taluka of Anand District.
