To discuss this topic we can take help of one of the case of
Supreme Court of India. As per the said case, the minimum wage fixed in the
notification under Minimum Wages Act, 1948 is not fixed with reference to any
particular quality of work turned out by the employee nor does the notification
under Minimum Wages Act, 1948 empower the employer to fix any particular norm
of work to be carried out by the employee with reference to which the minimum
wages shall be paid by the employer. The employer may fixed any norm as
employer think fit specifying the quantity of work which must be given by the
employee during the day, but if the employee does not turn out work in
conformity with such norm then in that scenario the employer cannot pay said
employee anything less than the minimum wages. Furthermore, the employer may
take disciplinary action against such employee.
Thus, the employer / management of any organization are not
entitled to make deductions from the minimum wage on account of less
productivity of an employee.
