ix) Conditions of work There is a legally guaranteed sliding scale depending on the type of work. The minimum wages are "industry based and are negotiated by representatives of workers, employers and government (tripartite). This is done in terms of the Wages Council Act. The Minimum wages generally provide a worker and family with a decent standard of living. The minimum wage does not mean the employer cannot pay m ore than the minimum amount, he can pay more but not less. There exists also numerous legislation geared toward the protection of worker's health and safety. The Labour Commissioner is empowered to conduct safety inspections as Government sets out safety standards for industrial operation and encourages private companies to develop accident prevention programmes.
