The labor sector of our country faced increased exploitation at the hands of the contractors and thus were unable to safeguard their interests on their own.
Many a times, they were forced to work for long hours at ridiculously low rates, and had no power to raise their voice against such instances.
Hence, in order to ensure the payment of at least such amount of wages that makes them able to fulfill their necessities of life, Minimum Wages Act was enacted in 1948, provisions of which are represented in this particular presentation.
BONUS ACT BASICS
A bonus is an extra amount of money that is added to someone's pay, usually because they have worked very hard.

The Minimum Wages Act of 1948, Ensuring Fair Compensation for Workers.pdfAkash Das
The Minimum Wages Act of 1948 is a landmark piece of legislation that was enacted in India to address the issue of providing fair wages to workers. The act sets the minimum wages that must be paid to various categories of workers across different industries, thereby ensuring that they receive a basic standard of living. It aims to prevent exploitation of labor and promote social justice by mandating employers to pay wages that are sufficient to maintain a decent standard of living. The act also provides for the establishment of advisory boards to recommend changes in minimum wages based on factors such as cost of living and prevailing economic conditions. Over the years, the Minimum Wages Act has been instrumental in protecting the rights of workers and promoting equitable employment practices in India.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
