‘Special allowance’ announced to assist workers earning below Rs32,000
The federal government, in accordance with a notification issued by the finance division, has officially implemented a minimum monthly wage of Rs32,000.
The prescribed minimum wage, which is set at Rs32,000, applies to all civil employees of the federal government.
This also encompasses civilians who receive their remuneration from Defence estimates, including contingent paid staff and contract employees engaged for civil posts within the basic pay scales, under standard terms and conditions of contract employment.
Individuals whose gross monthly salary falls below the newly established minimum wage of Rs32,000 will be entitled to receive the difference as a “special allowance.”
It is worth noting that the government had previously announced an increase in financial compensation for individuals hired from the private sector for MP1, MP2, and MP3 positions within the bureaucracy earlier in the same month.
The revised minimum wage regulations will be in effect from July 1, 2023.
