Minimum wage in Cambodia

No statutory minimum: collective agreements set the floor

Cambodia has no minimum wage for the whole economy. A minimum wage is set each year for the garment, textile, footwear, travel goods and bag industries, by an order of the Ministry of Labour.

No figure is shown here, because I could not confirm the current order on an official site. Use the official source for the amount in force.

Check the date. Minimum wages change, in many countries every year. The figure above is the one in force at the date shown. Confirm the current amount with the official source below before you rely on it. This is general information, not legal or employment advice.

Who sets it

The Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training issues a Prakas, a ministerial order, each year for the garment and related industries, after a tripartite council of Government, employers and unions has discussed it.

How it changes

The order is made in the second half of the year and takes effect on 1 January. A separate amount can apply to probationary workers.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

It covers the textile, garment, footwear, travel goods and bag industries. Other sectors are not covered by the same order.
Allowances are paid on top of the minimum in many factories.

What to watch for

There is no single figure for the economy. Check the current order for the sector.

Understand the legal system first

Cambodia belongs to the Civil law family. How pay is regulated depends on how the legal system makes and applies labour law.
