PRIVATE SECTOR MINIMUM WAGES INCREASE APPROVED FOR 2022.
[/vc_column_text][us_separator][vc_column_text]On October 26, the National Wage Council approved the increase that will govern the minimum wages of the private sector for the year 2022. The approved increase amounts to 2.09% general for all minimum wages in the private sector, and must be applied from January 1, 2022 and is the increase that will govern for the entire year (for some years now, a single annual increase has been applied at the beginning of the year, instead of two semi-annual increases – in January and July of each year). This increase must be applied to minimum wages, it is not mandatory to apply it to wages above the minimum. In addition to the 2.09% increase indicated above, an additional increase must be applied to the following percentages and to the following activities / categories: 1. Monthly Domestic Service 2.33962%. 2. Semi-skilled Monthly Worker 0.3986390%. 3. Skilled Day Worker 0.3955514%. 4. Specialized Monthly Worker 0.5562880%. If you require any assistance in determining whether or not the increase is appropriate, or in calculating the minimum wage that will be in effect starting January 2022, please do not hesitate to contact us via email at info@lexincorp.com, or contact Mr. Eugenio Vargas Ramírez at evargas@lexincorp.com.[/vc_column_text][us_separator][vc_column_text]
