THE Department of Labour has announced that wages for workers in the farming sector have been adjusted with effect from Saturday, 1 March.
In terms of Sectoral Determination (SD) for farm workers the minimum wages are adjusted upwards to an hourly rate of R12.41 (previously: R11.66), a weekly rate of R558.60 (R525); or monthly R2 420.41 (R2 274,82).
The new determination will be effective until the end of February 2015.
The SD covers the protection of workers in vulnerable sectors/areas of work. The determination also sets minimum working hours, minimum wages, number of leave days and termination rules.
The determination is reviewed annually by the Labour Minister.
