    I don’t know where you’re getting the numbers on that conversion, 663 rs is equivalent to $8.08.

    From your same source, I rounded up to 16800 rs and divided by 2080 (40/hr weeks for 52 weeks), which came out to 8.08 rs/hr, which converts to $0.10/hr. it doesn’t seem to me that the daily wage is equivalent to the yearly wage. With a complete shot in the dark, it seems like that’s intentional as a poor attempt to dissuade the use of short term labor.

      That 16800 rs in the source is per month not per year. If it is 663 rs ($8.08) per day and lets say 10 hours of work per day then it is $8.08/10 ~= $0.80 per hour.
