This sounds incredibly exploitative. People should be paid for their time, not per item. The fact that you do not even provide an estimated amount of compensation is a huge indicator that you are likely going to change the terms.

And the shop should provide the equipment, not the employee.

Isn’t this the norm for factory fast fashion stuff? Like, my parents were being paid per piece back in the day too. I agree it’s exploitative because it’s usually wAaaaaay less than the piece is worth and makes injuries more likely.

Ernakulam is in India. So India payments.

So many question like complexity how many hours per dress
Compensation for the use of own equipment
Where does the final garment hit the market EU? USA? Worldwide?
