How Goa sets minimum wages
Goa's Commissioner of Labour and Employment divides the state into two zones, A and B, and gives both a daily and a monthly rate for each of four skill categories in each zone. This produces a four-column money table per skill grade, covering the half-year from 1 April to 30 September 2026. The rates are set through a periodic revision order rather than a variable dearness allowance.

Are petrol pump fuel-filling attendants covered by minimum wages in Goa?
Yes. Fuel-dispensing attendants at petrol pumps and fuel stations are covered by the minimum wage notified for this scheduled employment in Goa, generally under the semi-skilled category. The exact rate follows the worker's skill classification and, where Goa notifies zonal rates, the area in which the outlet is located.
How are shift and night duty at a fuel station treated for wage purposes?
Many fuel stations in Goa run around the clock, so attendants and cashiers often work in rotating shifts, including at night. The notified minimum wage fixes only the base rate by skill category, and any overtime or extra shift work must be paid on top of that as required by the applicable labour rules in Goa.
Does the minimum wage differ between a small standalone pump and a large highway outlet in Goa?
The skill-category rate notified for petrol pumps and fuel stations applies to a worker regardless of the outlet's size, brand, or whether it is dealer-operated or company-operated. Where Goa notifies zone or area-based rates, the outlet's location (for example an urban municipal area versus a rural or highway location) can change which zonal rate applies, while the classification by skill stays the same.
