(Wholesale and Retail bosses must not pay less) .  \nThere are different groups of workers in the Wholesale and Retail Sector who all get paid different minimum hourly wages.  \nThe minimum hourly wage for Wholesale and Retail workers also differs from place to place in South Africa. Area A workers have one set of minimum wages, and Area B workers have another.  \nThe national minimum wage for this sector starts at R 28.79 per hour from 1 March 2025. This is pathetically low. All workers deserve more.  \nQuestion: I work in a Retail store for less than 27 hours per month. Do I still get the hourly minimum wage as set out in the Wholesale and Retail Sectoral Determination?  \nAnswer: Workers who work 27 hours or less per week can make an agreement with the employer to get an additional 25% on top of the minimum wage in the determination.  \nIf you work 24 hours or less per month in the sector, you are excluded from the Sectoral Determination’s conditions of employment. But you still get the minimum wage for the sector.  \nYour minimum will differ depending on your job and where you live:  \nBosses cannot reduce your wages or hours of work because the minimum wage has increased  \nIt is an unfair labour practice for bosses to avoid paying the minimum by changing workers’ wages, hours of work or conditions of employment.  \nWorkers can declare an unfair labour practice dispute at the CCMA if bosses lower their wages or worsen their working conditions. Bosses are also not allowed to drop workers’ wages to R 28.79 per hour if the workers already earn a higher rate.  \nContact the Casual Workers ’ Advice Ofice to discuss any issues!  \nPhone or WhatsApp us on: 082 8121934 You are welcome to visit us at  \n2 High Road, Germiston, Gauteng.","cbCaitzREYDkgRms","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitzREYDkgRms","pdf",2822101,"English","# Wholesale & Retail Hourly Minimum Wage - 2025\n## Sectoral Determination overview\n## Who is covered and how hours affect pay\n## Employer duties and unfair labour practice disputes\n## Contact information","[{\"question\":\"What is the new national minimum wage for Wholesale and Retail workers in 2025?\",\"answer\":\"The national minimum wage for the sector is R 28.79 per hour from 1 March 2025.\"},{\"question\":\"If I work less than 27 hours per week in retail, do I still get the hourly minimum wage?\",\"answer\":\"Workers who work 27 hours or less per week can agree with the employer to receive an additional 25% on top of the minimum wage in the determination.\"},{\"question\":\"What can I do if an employer reduces wages or worsens working conditions?\",\"answer\":\"Workers can declare an unfair labour practice dispute at the CCMA if employers lower wages or make working conditions worse.\"}]","Wholesale & Retail Hourly Minimum Wage - 2025 - R 28.79 per hour | PDF",1791035830]
