Wage claims procedure allows appointed authorities to award compensation up to ten times and enforce recovery as arrears of land revenue. Appointed authorities (not below Gazetted Officer rank) shall hear wage claims, may award compensation up to ten times the determined claim and should decide claims within three months; unpaid awards are recovered by the Collector or District Magistrate as arrears of land revenue. Filings may be made by the employee, a registered trade union member's union, or the Inspector-cum-Facilitator; a single application may represent multiple employees. Claims are subject to a three-year limitation with allowance for sufficient cause, and the authorities have civil court powers and are deemed civil courts for specified criminal procedure provisions.
