Minimum wage enforcement
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad district administration has launched strict enforcement actions to ensure that all workers in the capital receive the federally mandated minimum wage of Rs37,000 per month. All the Assistant Commissioners conducted surprise visits and inspections across various sectors to identify violations. In a key action, Assistant Commissioner Rural, Fahad Shabbir Cheema, visited a private restaurant in Ghauri Town. During the inspection, it was found that employees were being paid below the minimum wage. As a result, the restaurant manager was taken into custody for non-compliance with wage laws. The same officer also took action against a private security company operating in the area. The company’s manager was arrested after it was revealed that security guards were being paid less than the required minimum salary.
