The Employment (Minimum Hourly Wage) Order 2023 (the “Order”), which comes into effect on 1 June 2023, will see the first national minimum hourly wage rate set at $16.40, benefitting all low-income earners. This monumental step ensures employees in Bermuda have the right to a minimum wage. As highlighted in the 2020 Speech from the Throne, this Government is committed to ensuring employees receive a dignified wage.
