Hospitality minimum wage increases from today
Posted by Chris von Ulmenstein under Whale Cottage Portfolio, accommodation
The Department of Labour’s new Minimum Wage for the hospitality industry is applicable from today, as detailed below:
| Minimum Wage | ||
| 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2010 | ||
| R.p.m. | R.p.w. | R.p.h. |
| R 1,843.23 | R 425.43 | R 9.45 |
The wage increase, based on inflation plus 2 %, does not take the credit crunch into account, as it was designed two years ago. Many a worker may wish to retain his or her job at the current level than to be made redundant due to a further financial burden on employers.
