Grenada’s Attorney General and Minister for Legal Affairs, Labour and Consumer Affairs Senator the Hon. Claudette Joseph has mandated the Wage Advisory Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr Curlan Gilchrist, to commence a series of consultations with major stakeholders, with a view to revising Grenada’s minimum wage as well as broaden the scope of the Minimum Wage Order.
The Wage Advisory Committee was reconstituted on 1 September 2022 for a period of 3 years. It was set up to address the minimum wage in Grenada, which has not been reviewed over the past 11 years. The review of the minimum wage is one of Government’s priorities which is aligned with the National Sustainable Development Goal 2: Vibrant, Dynamic, Competitive Economy with Supporting Climate and Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, and Sustainable Development Goals 1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10.
The Committee is excited to begin these consultations and will commence discussions on Wednesday, 15 March 2023, with key members from the Grenada Chamber of Industry and Commerce (GCIC) and the Grenada Employers’ Federation (GEF).
The Committee will be holding further one-on-one consultations with other stakeholders, in addition to town hall meetings in various communities, and urges all interested parties to take advantage of the opportunities for input and feedback as we work together to ensure the implementation of a sustainable Minimum Wage Policy for the workers of Grenada.
Please look out for the town hall meeting schedule on the Government Information Service (GIS), other media outlets and the Government’s various social media platforms.
