Dear Members,

Greetings of the day.

Seniors and Juniors I would like to share some experience which I had during an interview before 2 days ago.

I was there for Personnel Mgr. There is a gentleman who asked me lots of questions regarding PF / ESIC and for other statutory compliance. I am discussing here the selected points:

1) He asked me about Minimum wages of Gurgaon:-

I answered him that the last minimum wages (unskilled) as per HR govt. is 3510(basis+da), he further asked me about other slabs in respect of this I told him that other slabs are SS, US, Clerical and Graduate etc in the notification but I dont remember the other figures right now then he says that you are working as a Mgr Personnel in your present co. and you dont have the figures, this is unprofessional.

Keeping in view the above I want to ask you all expertise that if I am working here with unskilled manpower and there is no existence of other slabs, it does not mean that I am unaware with Minimum wages concept if there is any requirement for other slab then I will go through the notification and execute the requirement. Is it possible for an individual to remember all the notification at any particular point of time.

What is your suggestion or criticism in respect of this, Please mention your views.

2) HRA in place of DA with basic to become Minimum wages

During this discussion he asked me what is minimum wages and i replied that state govt. set the figure which is Basic + DA, then he asked me if i put HRA instead of DA then it will count as min. wage or not.

I need your valuable point on it, which will be helpful to me for future.

Note: I met with a person over there who was selected for the post before my interview

Awaiting your kind replies.

Regards
Disht
