On September 28, 2021, Cambodia’s Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT) issued Prakas 264 which sets the new minimum wage for the garment, textile, and footwear industries for 2022. Unlike other countries, Cambodia’s minimum wage rates only apply to these industries.
Under Prakas 264, workers in the garment, textile, and footwear industries will be afforded the following minimum wages:
- Regular workers – US$194 per month (an increase from US$192 in 2021); and
- Probationary workers – US$ 192 per month (an increase from US$187 in 2021).
Prakas 264 also sets out the minimum wage for piece-rate workers who are paid by the number of textile/garment/footwear pieces they produce. For such workers, the pay rate is determined by their level of production and if this results in the worker earning more than the minimum rate, then that worker will be entitled to that higher amount. However, if their production brings in a pay rate lower than the minimum wage, the employer must adjust the worker’s pay to equal to the minimum wage.
