Cambodian parliament passes draft minimum wage law

Labor Minister Ith Samheng said at the National Assembly’s session that strengthening mechanism to increase the minimum wage is indeed important, according to Cambodian media reports.

A draft of the law handed over to unions and employers in Cambodia in April this year was devoid of the controversial clauses in earlier versions that penalised individuals for protesting or putting pressure on the wage determination process.

The step was welcomed by unions and labour rights groups, who had raised concerns over the clauses. (DS)
