Research has shown some staff in the garment sector can now earn up to $480 each month as unions and the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia congratulated workers for taking home the new minimum monthly wage of $170 for the first time. Staff in the garment and footwear sector received their first pay packet at the higher rate on February 10.

 

According to research by The National of Trade Unions Coalition, which involved more than 30 factories, ordinary staff can now earn between $238 and $260 per month, including benefits. NTUC president Far Saly said the wage hike would benefit the lives of workers and their families.

 

“Workers who are paid according to the quantity of products, they can earn between $280 and $480 per month including benefits, while workers on probation can earn $182 to $210 per month,” he said. GMAC deputy secretary-general Kaing Monika said NTUC’s research on wages reflected what member factories were paying out.
