Findings indicated that fair pay and working hours play a significant role in motivating workers and boost their productivity as well. The study has applied the random sampling method and 25 managers of manufacturing companies in Bihar participated in this research. Fair pay may make them loyal and they may remain in the business for a longer duration.

Abstract


The study is aimed at identifying the effectiveness of fair pay and working hours for employees working remotely. The people who are working from home are not getting full pay, as employers are cutting their wages. The research paper uses the primary data collection method and involved human participants to gather the data. Findings indicated that fair pay and working hours play a significant role in motivating workers and boost their productivity as well. The study has applied the random sampling method and 25 managers of manufacturing companies in Bihar participated in this research. Fair pay may make them loyal and they may remain in the business for a longer duration. Fair pay to employees always acts as a tool for the employers through which companies can make their workers positive and can ensure their positive contribution in the success of the business unit. Employees have to work lengthy working hours in remote working, and if they do not receive pay accordingly they may become negative. This may create trouble for the businesses to maintain productivity of employees. Hence, the firms need to ensure timely payment of wages, as per the contribution of the person to the success of the firm.
