considered 3 members will be there in an average family . Keeping in view of the norms of Fifteenth Indian Labour Congress and based on the rates of commodities in different cities / towns of Andhra Pradesh on 26-5-2013 we get the minimum pay . Paris conference , ILC , and many other International and National Organisations said that the minimum pay of any pay structure should serve the minimum needs of a family considering that the employee is the only bread winner of the family . On the Basis of the minimum needs given by 15 th congress of ILC we have prepared the following Table .

Notes : * 3 CU = 3 Consumption Units of a Family ** Miscellaneous charges towards Fuel , Electricity , Water etc . *** Additional expenditure towards Education , Medical Treatment ,
Recreation , Festivals , Ceremonies etc ., **** So the minimum Wage Should be fixed at Rs . 15,000 / -
( c ) Ratio between the Minimum and Maximum Pay 1:8.15 , What ’ s the rationale ?
To maintain the minimum living standards and to fulfil the family needs at current prices minimum pay should be raised . Therefore we propose to reduce the difference between minimum and maximum pay .
2 . Scale of pay :
As you are aware every post carries a scale of pay with a minimum of the scale , annual increments and maximum , the State Government introduced the concept of Master Scale , it is often said that with the introduction of the Master scale , the concept of pay scale does not have much relevance particularly , to those who are in service . But the craze for the pay scale continues and the demands for a higher scale of pay go on unabated . Very often the employees compare their scale with their counterparts and feel that they get a raw deal in the matter of pay scale . With this , the successive Pay Revision Commissions and the Anomalies Committees repeatedly analyzing the pay scales .
( a ) The pay scale is sort of compensation or remuneration , but the employees seems to be giving much prominence to the pay scale ? please indicate your view on
this aspect .
A separate pay scale to each cadre should be given pHé 2013
