The National Minimum Wage Commission is inviting written representation from interested stakeholders in preparation for the 2023 national minimum wage adjustments.
In a statement, the Department of Employment and Labour said the Commission will publish its annual report and recommendations concerning possible adjustment to the national minimum wage to the Minister of Employment and Labour later in 2022.
“Before releasing its report and recommendations, the National Minimum Wage Commission, invites all interested parties to submit written representations concerning possible adjustments to the national minimum wage,” the department said on Tuesday.
The recommendations will be considered by the Commission before it publishes its annual report and recommendations on the annual review of the national minimum wage later in the year.
“These written representations will be forwarded to the Minister of Employment and Labour together with the Commission’s report – to use in the determination of the new adjustment.”
The current national minimum wage announced by Minister Thulas Nxesi in February was adjusted from R21.69 (2021) to R23.19 (2022) for each ordinary hour worked with effect from 01 March 2022.
The representations should reach the directorate: Employment Standards, Department of Employment and Labour, Private Bag X117, Pretoria, 001 or be sent to nmwreview@labour.gov.za by 1 October 2022.
