Contractors to publish minimum wages and workmen register in website : Notification by Labour Department of NCT Delhi

Delhi Labour Department (during the short stint of Am Admi  Party in power) issued a notification mandating all contractors to publish in their website the minimum wages as notified by NCT and also payment of wages to workmen by cheque or ECS.

It was reported that many Trade Unions, workmen and even the Delhi Government has reported that the Contractors are not complying with the MW Act and also not paying wages by cheque or ECS.

However, while enforcing the notification are overzealous and tend to over step their jurisdiction.
They have mandated that the website should contain the whole details of the employees including their address date of birth phone numbers ect. and full pay details. In my view this is not the objective
and the objective to ensure payment of minimum wages, bring awareness of the notified wages and raise over all awareness.

The Contract employees include women in large scale and publication of their whole personal data in a website for public view could endanger their life and pose threat. NCT is already witnessing serious crime against women and this would be a step in retrograde.

Even other wise, in a bid to address to grievance of TU and workmen, the authorities endeavour to expose
their complete personal data and invade their privacy.

In order to fulfil the objective, it would be appropriate and sufficient if the contractors are directed to provide the weblink to the labour inspectors/officers periodically and also provide the passwords in confidence.
Labour Authorities also issue internal circulars to the inspectorate and officers to ensure confidentiality and privacy.
