Greater Noida Workers' Wages to Be Transferred Directly to Bank Accounts; Salary Slips Mandatory After a series of worker protests and unrest in the area, the administration has imposed stricter measures to ensure timely and transparent payment of wages to laborers in Greater Noida. A high-level committee convened on Wednesday to address the issue, directing all outsourcing agencies and contract workers to transfer salaries directly into the bank accounts of employees. The directive also mandates the issuance of salary slips to workers, ensuring accountability and transparency in wage distribution. The decision follows incidents of unrest that occurred on Monday, during which workers staged demonstrations and disrupted operations at factories in Greater Noida’s Phase 2. Despite efforts to resolve the situation through negotiations, many agencies failed to comply with calls for dialogue, prompting the district magistrate (DM), Medha Rupam, to issue stern warnings. Rupam emphasized that any agency found responsible for incidents of violence, unrest, or misconduct by workers would face severe consequences, including blacklisting and revocation of licenses. The DM highlighted that the responsibility of managing worker behavior now lies squarely with the outsourcing agencies. While some agencies have been proactive in addressing grievances, others have been accused of negligence, with investigations ongoing to determine their role in the recent unrest. The administration has also clarified that any lapse in ensuring workers’ welfare will result in strict action against both the agencies and their management.#district_magistrate #greater_noida #medha_rupam #outsourcing_agencies #labor_commissioner
