BCEA – Employee Minimum Pay of Four Hours Per Day

The November 2018 amendments to the Basic Conditions of Employment Amendment Act (BCEA), Act 7 of 2018, provide for the inclusion of the National Minimum Wage. They also include the insertion of a new section to provide for daily wage payments applicable to employees or workers who earn less than the earnings threshold – an employee who works for less than four hours on any day must be paid for four hours work on that day.
