                                  NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE ACT NO.9, OF 2018

SETTING OF THE MEDIUM-TERM TARGETS FOR THE NATIONAL MINIMUM

WAGE

INVITATION FOR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS

In terms of  section  11(d) of the National  Minimum  Wage  Act,  2018,  the National

Minimum Wage Commission is tasked to set medium-term targets for the national
                minimum wage.

The National Minimum Wage Commission has deliberated on the issue and proposes

that the medium-term target should be the following:

“All wage-earning workers must earn enough to maintain a decent standard of living,
                      defined  as sufficient to  support themselves  and their  families  at a level that is both
                      socially acceptable and economically viable.  The target should ensure that the value of
                      the national minimum wage does not decline relative to the median wage.”

Since the issue is of national importance, the National Minimum Wage Commission

invites representations from the public concerning the medium-term target to be set
                by the Commission in terms of section 11 (d) of the National Minimum Wage Act, 2018.

Such  representations should  reach the Directorate: Employment Standards,
                Department of Employment and Labour, Private Bag X117, Pretoria, 0001, or be sent

to nmwreview@labour.gov.za by 31 January 2023.
