While lay-offs have become the norm especially in futuristic sectors like IT, the Union cabinet has cleared the labor code on minimum wages, creating a minimum wage barrier of Rs. 18,000/- With the implementation of this bill, any state is bound by law to not pay a lesser amount. This translates to that the minimum wage for someone working in a metro city will be the same as that of a person in a small town. Likewise, a B.com graduate and a 10th pass delivery boy of an e-commerce company will get the same minimum wage at the entry level.
