This time around we have not reviewed the minimum wage as the Government, we have left that to the employers and the unions to review. And we have seen that it’s working because we are authorizing agreements which are more or less above the Poverty Datum Line.
We have also done that in Government where we have time and again evaluated the salaries of civil servants to at least be above the Poverty Datum Line. According to a ‘National Salaries Survey’, conducted by a local company Stallone Consultancy, most companies and employees’ unions agreed on a minimum wage of around $18 000.
The figure was about $2 000 below the Poverty Datum Line in December 2020, but price rises have escalated since the start of 2021, with government departments and parastatals leading the way in hiking fees.
