It depends whether the person is appointed on daily wage or piece-rate wage.
If it is the former,full day's wage has to be paid.

Dear Tom,.
PSU means Public Sector Undertaking.

@ Querist,
Sorry, I am unable to guide you in this query. Hope the comment from Expert Chaudhary is perfect.
Anyways, let's wait for further comments from the experts.

The labour has not direct relation with the PSU as he is employee of contractor so there is no question on the part of PSU to pay wages for the whole day as these are ewngaged only for 2 hours per day.
