More than 2,000 mill workers at the Fiji Sugar Corporation are getting a 5.3% pay increase, equal access to health insurance and access to the special welfare fund.
Fiji Sugar Corporation Chairman Abdul Khan said the health insurance will now be available to all workers, with FSC paying for 50% of the premium.
According to a government statement, the pay rise had been in the works for more than two weeks.
Khan said the pay rise and leveling of benefits come as a result of improved performance, lowering costs and increasing output.
The pay rise will be retrospective to June 1st, and applies to all workers except company executives.
