Employment and Labour Minister T.W Nxesi will tomorrow (05 March) launch a new hotline that will allow workers to report cases of non-compliance with the national minimum wage (NMW) without any cost to them.
The launch of the NMW Impimpa hotline with one of the county's leading cellular providers, will provide a messaging interaction mechanism for the end-users (workers) to allow them to report cases of non-compliance with the national minimum wage without any cost.
The launch of the NMW Impimpa hotline also coincides with the latest review of the national minimum wage rates which have been published on the 17th February 2020. The new NMW has increased from R20.00 per hour to R20.76 per hour, and the rate came into effect on 01 March 2020.
The NMW Impimpa hotline will provide an effective monitoring and enforcement system. Its launch is seen as vital to the success of NMW.
The Department wishes to announce a change in the venue for the launch. We profusely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
