| Abstract/Citation: | This Act repeals the National Minimum Wage Act, 2004 and establishes a national minimum wage. This does not apply to part-time employees; commission or piece rate workers; businesses employing under 25 people; seasonal workers; or those employed in aviation or merchant shipping. Establishes a tripartite committee to make recommendations and review the minimum wage. Sets out the obligations for employers with respect to reporting as well as the monitoring and enforcement of the Act. |
