Minimum wage earners in CARAGA region are set to receive higher wages starting next month after the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board approved a P50 daily wage increase in the region. According to the Department of Labor and Employment , the National Wages and Productivity Commission affirmed the wage order of the RTWPB, granting a P50 daily wage hike for private sector workers, which will be given in two tranches.
“The wage order is expected to directly benefit 65,681 minimum wage earners in the region,” the DOLE said. “About 132,217 full-time wage and salary workers earning above the minimum wage may also indirectly benefit as a result of upward adjustments at the enterprise level arising from the correction of wage distortion,” it said. The DOLE also expects that at least 32,866 domestic workers will benefit from the increase, of which 7,939 were under live-in arrangements.
