Minimum Wage in Pakistan 2025-2026: Current Rates and Compliance
Current minimum wage rates across Pakistan, employer obligations, and penalties for non-compliance.
The minimum wage in Pakistan is set by the Federal and Provincial governments. The federal minimum wage for unskilled workers was raised to Rs. 37,000 per month. Provincial rates may vary. Employers are legally required to pay at least the minimum wage. Non-compliance attracts penalties under the Minimum Wages Ordinance 1961 and can result in prosecution. Employers must also ensure compliance with overtime pay requirements (typically double the normal hourly rate for work beyond normal hours).
