#SintMaarten, January 12, 2023 – Sint Maarten’s Minister of Public Health Social Development and Labour, Omar Ottley has reminded employers of the island’s minimum wage that began on January 1, 2023.
The LBHAM (relevant National Decree) and MB for the minimum wage increase were published on November 30,
2022.
The Minister urged all employers to observe the new minimum wage set at NAF 9.95.
Ottley said that employees should report to their employers if the adjustment is not seen on their next pay. Failure to make the necessary changes will result in the involvement of the Labour department.
The minimum wage increase was based on years of cumulative CPI when there were no indexations.
