Since each worker has been guaranteed at 75% of basic pay, if their earnings are less
74 hours
than 50% of basic pay (guaranteed hourly rate), earning of the workers will be as follows: = × 136 hours × `48 = `2,300
210hours
Workers A and C will be paid the wages as computed viz., `9,120 and `12,600
respectively. The computed earnings under piece rate basis for worker B is `3,000 which
is less than 50% of basic pay i.e., ` 4,400 (`8,800 × 50%) therefore B would be paid
Question 2 :
