The Chairman of the Wages council believes detailed information is needed on the workforce in Fiji to ensure appropriate levels of wages are paid for the various sectors.
Father Kevin Barr said the lack of detailed information on the number of workers in each sector and the type of work people do is a challenge in setting out fair levels of wages and salary for the workers in Fiji.
Meanwhile, the Wages council is keeping its fingers crossed that the Prime Minister's Office would consider its recommendation and move forward the implementation date for the new Wages order which is expected to come into force from May this year.
