The State Service of the Labor Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Azerbaijan warned employers.
“According to the order of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, from January 1, 2023, the minimum wage (MRZP) was set in the amount of 345 manat. In this regard, the monthly wage of the employee who has worked out the monthly rate of working time and performed labor functions cannot be below 345 manatov, ”the state service said in a statement.
According to the new MRZP, employers need to make changes to the employment contract and add relevant information about the employment contract to the Labor and Employment subsystem.
“According to Article 192.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the provision of wages to the employee below the minimum wage entails administrative responsibility,” the civil service emphasized.
