Please note: The minimum wage and learnership allowances prescribed by the National Minimum Wage Commission are calculated taking into account the Employer’s Pension Fund contributions.
Salary scales and learnership allowances that are based on the prescribed minimum may include an hourly rate or weekly rate that is less than the amount of the NMW as the Pension Fund contribution of the Employer is factored into the calculation.
The hourly rate or weekly allowance plus the employer portion of the Pension Fund contribution may not be less than the minimum prescribed by the NMW Commission.
