This Act amends the central Minimum Wages Act, 1948, specifically for the state of Kerala. Its primary purpose is to empower the Kerala State Government to set and revise minimum wage rates for various employments, ensuring that workers—including those previously left out due to specific localities or new job roles—receive fair compensation. It also significantly increases the financial penalties for employers who violate these wage regulations, aiming to deter non-compliance. By updating these provisions, the Act ensures that labor protections remain relevant and enforceable within the state, directly impacting the financial security of workers across different industries.
