The Government will increase the minimum wage from $13 to $13.50 an hour, Minister of Labour Kate Wilkinson announced today.
The training and new entrants’ minimum wages will increase from $10.40 to $10.80 (or 80% of the adult minimum wage).
“Those working full time on the minimum wage will earn an extra $20 a week or more than $1000 a year,” Ms Wilkinson said.
“This increase strikes the right balance between protecting low paid workers and ensuring that jobs are not lost during these tough economic times.”
