Cabinet set to approve 80 cent rise to minimum wage, bringing it to €11.30 an hour from next year
The Cabinet is tomorrow set to approve an €0.80 rise to the minimum wage, bringing it to €11.30 per hour from the beginning of next year.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar will bring a recommendation from the Low Pay Commission to Government in the morning. This is one of the biggest increases in the minimum wage but the commission has warned that the rate alone cannot compensate workers for inflation and recent increases in the cost of living.The commission also sets out an indicative rate for what is called a Living Wage.However, employers who opt to pay this wage from next year would pay staff €13.10 an hour.
The Cabinet is expected to consider further proposals from the Tánaiste next month on the Living Wage plan.
