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
