Board OKs P30 pay hike in Eastern Visayas
The Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (RTWPB) in Eastern Visayas has approved a P30 daily minimum wage increase for all workers in the region.
The wage order, RB VIII-24, brings the daily minimum wage to P435 upon full implementation on December 2, 2024, after being affirmed by the National Wages and Productivity Commission on November 13 and published on November 15.
This adjustment represents a 7% increase from the previous P405 daily minimum wage, and a comparable 10% increase in wage-related benefits.
Additionally, a P500 monthly increase for all kasambahays was approved, bringing their monthly minimum wage to a maximum of P6,000.
These increases consider the needs of workers and their families, the capacity of employers to pay, and the requirements of economic and social development in the region.
