Phnom Penh: Minister of Social Affairs today issues a press release on minimum wage increase to $80 for garment and footwear workers resulting from the 8th-Ministerial Working Group discussion.

The 21-Mar-2013 Press Release indicates that the new minimum wage will be implemented by May 1, 2013.  The wage increase came from the employers' agreement to increase the wage to $73 and with the intervention from Cambodian Prime Minister to add another $2.  In total, the $5 health allowance is added up to $75 to become the new minimum wage.

"The Labour Advisory Committee will work out the details of the wage increase on 29 March 2013", the Press Release said.
