Johannesburg - Wages in the hospitality sector are set to increase next month, the labour department said on Wednesday.
The increase would come into effect on July 1, in line with the annual adjustment of minimum wages as stipulated in the hospitality sectoral determination, the department said in a statement.
Establishments employing more than 10 workers were expected to pay a minimum wage of R2 209 per month and an hourly rate of R11.33. Those employing 10 workers or less were expected to pay a minimum of R1 981.48 per month and R10.17 per hour.

Sunday work in the sector should be paid either at 1.5 or double the ordinary rate, depending on whether the employee ordinarily worked on a Sunday or not, as outlined in the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
