The above changes will be incorporated into the June 2022 payroll.
Kindly note that this interim salary adjustment is on a without prejudice basis to the ongoing 2022 Industry Collective Bargaining Negotiations.
The adjustment is therefore being implemented as a stop-gap measure to cushion employees in view of the increased cost of living.
