The minimum wage in Azerbaijan will be reviewed at least once a year, APA reports.
This is reflected in the proposed amendment to the Labor Code that was brought up for discussion at today’s session of the Milli Majlis.
Under the draft, the minimum wage amount will be reviewed no less than once a year by the body (institution) designated by the relevant executive authority, based on proposals from the body (institution) determined by the relevant executive authority.
The adoption of the draft will ensure the periodicity of determining the minimum wage, which is considered an effective instrument of social protection in the country, and will eliminate the reason for the country losing points related to the question mentioned in the report.
Following the discussions, the draft law was put to a vote and adopted in the first reading.
