It is the same for men and women performing the same type of work. It is illegal
for your employer to pay you less than the prescribed minimum wage. The minimum
wage depends on your age group, and also depends on the kind of work performed.
It may be paid by the hour, the day or the month. If you have worked for over 225
days in a single calendar year for one employer, then the Minimum Wage Act does not apply to you. You are then a permanent employee, entitled to all the benefits
that permanent employees receive.
