What does this mean for your rate per post?
The minimum wage is only the first line of your cost. On top of it you pay a reliever for 7-day posts, employer PF, ESI and bonus, uniform and your service charge, and GST goes on the bill. Use the "Rate per post" link in any row above: it opens the manpower rate calculator with that row's monthly rate filled in. Where a state notifies monthly rates, the daily figure is the monthly rate ÷ 26; where it notifies daily rates, the monthly figure is the daily rate × 26.
When are the rates revised?
The order says the rates are revised every six months, taking into account variable dearness allowance; recent orders apply from 1 January and 1 July.
