Minimum wage of Rs25,000 challenged in SHC July 28, 2021 KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Tuesday has issued notices to secretary labour and human resource department, and secretary minimum wage board on petition of employers that challenged the fixation of minimum monthly wage of Rs25,000 for unskilled workers by Sindh government. The Employers Federation of Pakistan (EFP), and others had submitted a petition alleging Sindh government to score political mileage, announced an increase in minimum wage of the unskilled workers from Rs17,500 to Rs25,000 per month without even initiating statutory requirements as contained in the Sindh Minimum Wages Act. They informed the court that they had earlier raised objections against the recommendations of the Sindh Minimum Wages Board on various legal and factual grounds but they were not invited in the board meeting to decide the minimum wage.
