We have a convention on minimum wage, which is first looking at the impact on workers\u2019 standard of living. You also have to look at the impact on employability,\u201d he said in a\u00a0Citi News\u00a0interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discussions on the minimum wage could not take place in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a meeting with the Tripartite Committee on Thursday, a technical committee was inaugurated to put together a report on proposals for a daily minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minister for Employment and Labour Relations, Ignatius Baffour Awuah, has assured that government will place a premium on the input of industry and other stakeholders in the determination of the minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He indicated that government will ensure that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/citinewsroom.com\/2021\/04\/new-minimum-wage-will-ensure-employees-are-better-off-employment-minister\/\"><strong>Ghanaian workers are better off<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>after all the processes and negotiations are completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe role of industry players in the determination of the national minimum wage is perhaps even more key than that of government. We are also interested in the welfare of workers, and we have committed ourselves to so many international protocols and have assured ourselves and the international community that we will accord the Ghanaian worker decent employment,\u201d the Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The TUC\u2019s Dr. Yaw Baah had also expressed hope that there would be no lags in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs soon as he [the Minister] receives the report, he has assured us that he is going to reconvene the National Tripartite Committee meeting, then the processes of negotiation [can] start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is a very complex process, and we hope they will do a good job,\u201d Dr. Baah added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Daily Minimum Wage was last adjusted in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It went up by 11 percentage points from the 2019 minimum wage of GHS10.65 to GHS11.82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: citinewsroom.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Send your news stories to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>&nbsp;and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Trade Union Congress, (TUC) is assuring workers that a favourable deal will be reached among government, workers and employers as the National Tripartite Committee meets to determine the new National Minimum Wage.
