Public called to comment on national minimum wage adjustment
The public has been given until 18 September to make written submissions on next year's minimum wage adjustments
With the National Minimum Wage (NMW) currently at R28.79 per hour, the NMW Commission is calling for public input on possible adjustments for next year.
The current rate was announced in February by Employment and Labour Minister Nomakhosazana Meth.
The minimum wage is the lowest remuneration rate employers are legally permitted to pay their employees for each ordinary hour worked.
The commission is responsible for annually reviewing and recommending adjustments to the National Minimum Wage.
“It investigates and reports annually to the minister on the impact of the National Minimum Wage on the economy, collective bargaining, and income differentials, making this information available to the public,” said departmental spokesperson Teboho Thejane.
The public has been given until 18 September to make written submissions.
Representations should go to the directorate: Employment Standards, Department of Employment and Labour, Private Bag X117, Pretoria, 0001 or nmwreview@labour.gov.za
