The Labour Department has increased the minimum wage for farmworkers by R127,96 a month.

This will take effect from the 1st of March 2012. The remuneration is applicable to an ordinary 45-hour week of work.

The increase is calculated at the previous year's minimum wage, plus the consumer price index including one and a half percent.

The department warns that employers who are ignorant toward the farm workers' sector determination must do so at their own risk.
