This move follows a decision issued by
the Tripartite Commission for Labor Affairs to index the statutory
minimum wage to inflation and increase the minimum wage for the years 2023–2025.
Minimum wage will be adjusted based
on the interest rate issued by official authorities, provided that it is calculated
for each year according to the 11 months prior.
In a press statement, the SSC
explained that the current minimum wage will be adjusted based on the inflation
rate for the first 11 months of 2022, which amounted to 4.22 percent.
The SSC also stressed that anyone who
is over 16 and subject to the Social Security Law regardless of nationality,
and regardless of the duration or form of the contract.
