The National Tripartite Committee (NTC) has increased the National Daily Minimum Wage (NDMW) from GHC3. 73 to GHC4. 48, representing 20 percent increment for the public service.<\/p>\n

The increase takes effect Thursday February 9, 2012.<\/p>\n

The NDMW is the wage below which workers in the public service should not be paid.<\/p>\n

Out-going Employment and Social Welfare Minister, Mr E. T. Mensah, who announced this at a press briefing in Accra Wednesday, called on all establishments, organisations and institutions to accordingly adjust their minimum wages.<\/p>\n

The NTC which comprises organised labour, employers and government has expressed commitment in ensuring better working condition for public workers in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Mr George Smith-Graham, has told Graphic that the Commission would adjust the base pay of the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) to reflect the new minimum wage as stipulated by the law.<\/p>\n

Currently, the base pay of the SSSS is pegged at GHC4. 10 which is below the new minimum.<\/p>\n
