Minimum wage revisions
The Labour Welfare and Skill Development Department issued three orders dated 10 June 2022:
- G.O. (2D). No. 39 revises minimum wages for cotton ginning and pressing and cotton waste employment across Tamil Nadu. It supersedes Notification No. II(2)/LE/16/2018.
- G.O. (2D). No. 40 revises minimum wages for polythene manufacturing, processing foam items and plastic manufacturing. It supersedes Notification No. II(2)/LE/184(g-2)/2017.

The wage notifications take effect from publication in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette. They specify basic wages by occupation and provide additional dearness allowance linked to the Chennai City Consumer Price Index. The cotton notification also requires equal wages for men and women doing the same work and preserves existing wages where they are higher than the notified minimum.
