A new wage regulation order has been determined by the ten wages council in Fiji.

This was confirmed to FijiLive by Wages Council chairman Father Kevin Barr.

Father Barr said the ten councils have concluded their meeting and the wage regulation orders are in process of being gazetted.

“We hope that the new wage regulation orders set by the ten Wages Councils this year will come into effect on July1, 2012.

Father Barr said a month is allowed for objections to be given in and considered before it is finally gazetted.

He said he is not at liberty to divulge the increases until they are gazetted and members of the wages council have an extension until the time of gazetting.

He also said the council cover 60 per cent of all workers in full-time employment, 30 per cent are covered by unions and 10 per cent fall through the cracks but will be assisted when the national minimum wage comes into existence.

The council was expected to put forward changes in the minimum wages for consideration by June but council chair Father Barr had asked for more time so all councils can complete their proposals.
