The government will increase the minimum wage for civil servants, teachers, doctors, and armed forces in a move to improve their living conditions next year.

 

Speaking in a cabinet meeting at the Peace Palace on Friday, Prime Minister Hun Sen said that wages for both government employees and garment workers will be increased, noting they will not have to pay income tax. “The government has put forth effort to implement policies to improve the lives of civil servants, teachers, doctors, National Police officers, soldiers and garment workers since the 5th mandate of the National Assembly,” he said, referring to the period of 2013 to 2018.

 

Mr Hun Sen said the minimum wage for civil servants is due to increase from $275 to $293, and from $300 to $ 318 for teachers and doctors. The government will also increase the minimum wage from $296 to $314 for National Police officers holding ranks of staff sergeant, from $264 to $295 for military police officers holding ranks of first sergeant; contractual officer wages will also increase to $167. The salary increases will come into effect next year. Mr Hun Sen said that wages below $325 will be exempt from income tax.
