2012 Minimum Wage
On December 30, 2011 the Ministry for Labour and Welfare published in the Diario de Centro America the Government Agreement No. 520-2011 by means of which new minimum wages have been established for agricultural and non agricultural activities, and export and maquila activities under by Decree No. 29-89, effective from January 1, 2012.
The current minimum wages are:
----------------------------- ---- Monthly Per day
Agricultural activities -------- --- Q 2074.00 68.00 Q
Non agricultural activities --- Q ----- Q 2074.00 68.00
Decree 29-89 Activities ---- Q --- Q 1906.25 62.50
In the opinion of the Inspección General de Trabajo the monthly salary is determined by multiplying the daily wage for 365 days and then dividing it by 12 months.
The bonus incentive created by Decree No. 78-89, as amended, is independent from the minimum wages cited.
Under the Agreement, the purpose of the minimum wage is to get a greater number of workers earning wages that are higher than those fixed by this Agreement, therefore, the executive promotes policies that encourage companies to adopt better systems of remuneration so that workers may have a better quality of life. Employers are encouraged to seek out and implement in their work activities methods of remuneration in order to be competitive and thereby improve workers income.
