The CPI (excluding owners’ equivalent rent) utilized to determine minimum wage increases applicable from 1 September 2011 to 31 August 2012 is the rate that was available six weeks prior to the increase becoming effective, which is the June 2011 CPI (excluding owners’ equivalent rent) rate of 5% as published by Statistic South Africa on 20 July 2011.
The Sectoral Determination stipulates that the wage increase for Task 2 to Task 9 will be determined by utilizing the CPI + 3% or 8% (whichever is greater). Therefore in terms of percentage increase, the new minimum wage as from 1 September 2011 will be 8% higher than the current minimum wage.
