Wage-Period
The period for which wages are payable, not exceeding one month.
Definition
A 'wage-period' is defined by the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, as the period in respect of which wages are payable. The Act explicitly stipulates that no wage-period shall exceed one month. This provision is crucial for ensuring regularity and predictability in wage payments, preventing employers from establishing excessively long payment cycles that could cause financial hardship for employees and ensuring a consistent flow of income.
