Definitions of Employees under Minimum Wage Act

Highly Skilled:A highly skilled worker is one who is capable of working efficiently and supervises efficiently the work of skilled employees.

Skilled:

Skilled employee is one who is capable of working efficiently of exercising considerable independent judgment and of discharging his duties responsibly.

A Semi-skilled employee:

A semi-skilled employee is one who does work general of a well defined routine nature where the major requirement is not so much of the judgment, skill and dexterity, but of proper discharge of duties assigned to him for a relatively narrow job and where important decisions are made by others. His work is thus limited to the performance of routine operation of limited scope.

An Unskilled employee:

An unskilled employee is one who does operations that involve the performance of simple duties which require exercise of little or no independent judgment or previous experience, although a familiarity with the occupational environment is necessary. His work may thus require in addition to physical exertion, familiarity with a variety of articles or goods.
