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 basic and VDA 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 special allowance is adjusted every six months, from 1 April and 1 October, based on the cost of living index.

What should you note about these rates?
