The Minimum Wages (Manipur Amendment) Act, 1992 modifies minimum wage law in the state of Manipur by allowing first-time minor offenses to be settled out of court. It applies to employers and individuals in Manipur who commit a first-time violation under the Minimum Wages Act punishable only by a fine. Under the law, a designated government official can allow the offender to pay a monetary settlement up to the maximum fine amount. Resolving the matter before prosecution prevents court action, while settling after charges are filed results in an acquittal. This amendment helps resolve minor labor violations efficiently, reducing judicial backlogs and saving time and legal costs for both the state and employers.
