    One of the most important factor to be taken care of in human resources

    management is the amount of remuneration to be paid to an employee for a fairways work.

    Work is the expenditure of human energy for direct remuneration or pay. Pay in one form or

    another is certainly one of the main spring of motivate in our society. Wage and salary

    administration is concerned with establishing and implementing sound policies and practices of

    employee compensation. It satisfies physical needs of employees and determines social status.

    In this chapter we shall discuss meaning and objectives of wage and salary

    administration, system of wage and salary payment, basic pay, various allowances and advances

    with special reference to PGVCL in following pages.

    1 Meaning and objectives of Wage and Salary Administrative:

    A Wage is the remuneration paid for the service of labour in production periodically to an

    employee / worker. So payment made to labour is generally referred to as wages. Wages also

    refer to the hourly rate paid to such groups as production and maintenance. Salary normally

    refers to the periodically rates paid to clerical. administrative and professional employees. So

    money paid periodically to person whose output cannot be measured is generally referred as

    salary. Wage and salary are paid as per contract of employment. Wages include basic wage /

    salary and allowances. Allowances are paid in addition to basic wage to maintain the value of

    basic wage over a period of time. In India, different Acts include different item under wages.

    Though all the lets includes basic wages and Dearness allowance under the item wages. E.g.

    under the Workmens Compensation Act, 1923, section 2(m) wages for leave period, holiday,

    overtime pay, bonus, attendance bonus and good conduct bonus form part of wages and under

    the payment of wages Act, 1936 section 2(vi) any reward of settlement and production bonus, if

    paid constitutes wages.

    Wage and salary administration is establishment and implementation of sound policies

    and practices of employee compensations. Wage policies of different organisations very

    somewhat. Some organisations pay minimum necessary to attract the required number and kind

    of labour, while some organisations pay well above the going rates in the labour market. Various

    factors influence wage and salary structure and administration like govt. legislation and public

    policy, organisations ability to pay, labour supply and demand, going wages and salaries, cost of

    living, productivity, trade unions bargaining power, job requirement, management attitude about

    wage to be paid etc.

    The basic objective of wage and salary administration is to establish and maintain an

    equitable wage and salary structure and secondary objective is to establish and maintain an

    equitable labour cost structure. Generally sound wage and salary administration tries to achieve

    following objectives.

    (1)To attract and retain the service of employee.(2)To pay employees according to the content and difficulty of the job.(3)To reward employees according to the effort and merit.(4)To improve employee morale and productivity.(5)To satisfy employee as to how and why they are paid.

    (6)To facilitate pay roll administration, budgeting and wage and salary control.(7)To simplify collective bargaining.(8)To promote employee organizational flexibility promotion and transfer.

    Remuneration provides more than a means of satisfying the physical needs-it provides

    recognition, a sense of accomplishment and determines social status. Hence formulation and

    administration of wage and salary to attract and retain right personnel in right position is the prime

    responsibility of the management in any organisation.

    [2] System of wage and salary payment:

    Wages if dependent generally on the rates of wages which may be an hourly rate or time

    rate or based on a piece rate i.e. dependent on workers output. The time and piece output rate

    wage plans are the two basic systems. All other plans are simply variation of these two.

    In this wage system, an employee is paid a define amount of money for a specific period

    of work. Production of an employee is not taken into consideration to fix the wages. In piece

    wage system, an employee is paid fixed rate per unit produced of job completed.

    The PGVCL applies time wage system for payment of wages and salary which includes

    basic pay, dearness allowance, C.L.A./H.R.A project allowance tribal allowance, bad climate

    allowance, hotline allowance, charge allowance etc.

    [3] Basic pay:

    The basic pay determines many other payment such as allowances, advances and

    certain fringe benefits.The existing scales of pay of PGVCL employees have been revised from

    1-1-2006. the existing scales of basic pay are shown in table 7.1.

    (5) 66.05 per cent respondents agree with success of the objective-eliminating inequalities in pay

    and 21.60 per cent respondents disagree with success of this objective.

    Thus it can be said that the existing wage and salary policy reduces the incidence of

    quitting and grievances attracts and retains the services of employees, eliminates inequalities in

    pay and acts as an incentive to exploit potentialities of employees.

    The researcher made an attempt to gather suggestions from the respondents for making

    wage and salary administration more effective-from sample unit. The details are presented in

    table 7.7.1 to table 7.7.3 as under.

    Table 7.7.1 shows suggestion made by respondents to make wage and salary administration moreeffective- class I and II.

    Table 7.7.2 shows suggestion made by respondents to make wage and salary administration more

    effective- class III and IV.

    Table 7.7.3 shows suggestion made by respondents to make wage and salary administration more

    effective- class I, II, III and IV.

    Table 7.7.1 shows:

    (1) Maximum respondents (63.59 per cent of the respondents) have suggested-revising existing

    pay scales in order to make wage and salary administration more effective.

    (2) Minimum respondents (22.22 per cent of the respondents) have suggested ensuring prompt

    payment of dues of the employees and not accumulating arrears of payment with a view to

    make wage and salary administration more effective.

    (3) According to 56.80 per cent respondents, the PGVCL should provide job environment, wage-

    salary and perquisites as of the private sectors and according to 52.47 per cent respondents,

    the PGVCL should appoint representatives of employees on the administration of wage and

    salary plan committees in order to make wage and salary administration more effective.

    All these observations show that the existing pay scale should be revised in order to

    improve wage and salary administration. Though presently govt. is progressively taking steps in

    this regard. Moreover so far as possible, job environment, wage-salary and perquisites should be

    provided as of the private sectors.

    (2)Minimum respondents (24.64 per cent of the respondents) have suggested ensuringprompt payment of dues of the employees and not accumulating arrears of payment with

    more effective.

    All these observations suggests that the existing pay scales should be revised so far as

    possible job environment, wage-salary and perquisites should be provided as of the private sector

    and representative of employees should be appointed in wage-salary plan committee in order to

    improve wage and salary administration. Thus any remarkable change in the suggestion

    suggested by class I and II respondents and class III and IV respondents to make wage and salary

    administration more effective have not been found.

    All these observations show that the PGVCL should revise existing pay scale in order to

    improve wage and salary administration. Though presently govt. is progressively taking steps in

    this regard. Moreover the PGVCL should provide job environment, wage-salary and perquisites

    as of the private sectors for improving wage and salary administration.PGVCL applies time wage

    system for payment of wage and salary which includes basic pay, D.A. and other allowances and

    monetary benefits as per govt. rules. The findings indicate that the PGVCLs existing wage and

    salary policy is attracting and retaining efficient personnel, acting as an incentive to exploit their

    potentialities and encouraging employees to continue with the PGVCL.

    All these findings clearly indicate that the PGVCLs existing wage and salary policy is

    quite fair, equitable and sound in line with cost of living index.
