By issuing a significant notification on minimum wages for all industrial and commercial establishments within the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT), the Office of the Chief Commissioner, Directorate of Industries & Labour Welfare, Islamabad, has taken decisive action to improve the livelihoods of workers in light of the recent inflation.
Minimum Wage of Employees in ICT
The new minimum monthly pay for adult unskilled workers hired by industrial enterprises within the ICT has been set at Rs. 32,000 for eight hours of labour per day as of 1 July 2023.
A minimum salary of Rs. 32,000 will also be paid to juvenile employees, as permitted by law, for each 8-hour workday.
This pay rise emphasizes the government’s commitment to labor welfare and human rights in the nation’s capital and seeks to ensure a fair and equal compensation structure.
The government hopes to build a more inclusive and just work environment for the workforce by implementing this new wage system, which will also help the area’s economy and social growth.
The government is making this change in response to the current economic difficulties as it works to better help workers in the face of increased living expenses.
