The Haryana government has announced revised wage structures for part-time and daily-wage employees, with the new rates set to take effect from 1 January, 2025. The move comes as part of an attempt to standardise and enhance compensation for workers employed through the Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam.
Under the updated structure, two salary slabs have been introduced. For employees earning a monthly wage of Rs 19,900, the corresponding daily wage will be Rs 765, with an hourly rate of Rs 96. Employees working one hour per day for an entire month will now earn Rs 2,487.
In the second slab, employees drawing Rs 24,100 per month will receive Rs 927 per day or Rs 116 per hour. Those working an hour daily throughout the month will earn Rs 3,012. This revision offers more transparency and equitable remuneration for part-time and hourly workers.
Additionally, the state has made changes to the Haryana Civil Services (Leaves) Rules, 2016. Group-C and Group-D regular government employees will now be eligible for compensatory leave if they are required to work on a notified public holiday. This leave must be availed within a month of the holiday worked on.
The employment contracts of workers hired through Outsourcing Policy Part-2 has been extended too. The tenure for these employees in various departments, boards, and corporations will now continue until 31 July, 2025.
These measures are an outcome of the state’s continued focus on improving labour welfare, ensuring fair compensation, and recognising additional work by its workforce through updated leave entitlements and extended contractual terms.
