Benefit Of Equal Pay & Holidays Are Granted To Daily Wage Employees Working Part-Time At HC Circuit Benches: Karnataka Govt Tells High Court

The Karnataka High Court ruled on the equal pay and holiday entitlement of daily wage workers in the state. The petitioners, representing workers, argued that despite fulfilling similar roles to permanent employees, they were not given equal pay or holiday benefits. The court recognized the importance of upholding fair labor practices and ensuring that workers are treated equally, regardless of their employment status. It ordered that the Karnataka government must ensure compliance with labor laws by providing the same remuneration and benefits for daily wage workers as given to regular employees, setting a precedent for improved labor rights in the state.
