Minimum wage in Ghana

A statutory national minimum wage

Ghana has a National Daily Minimum Wage, agreed each year between the Government, employers and organised labour in the National Tripartite Committee. It is quoted per day.

No figure is shown here, because I could not confirm the current daily rate 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 National Tripartite Committee, with representatives of Government, employers and organised labour, negotiates the rate. The Government then announces it.

How it changes

The committee negotiates each year, and the rate is set for the calendar year. It has often been agreed in the months before the new year.

Who is covered, and who is treated differently

  • The rate is a daily one, and monthly pay is worked out from the days paid.

What to watch for

  • Check the latest announcement of the National Tripartite Committee and the Ministry of Labour.

Understand the legal system first

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