The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population, namely the State Labor Inspectorate Service, appealed to employers through the “Labor and Employment” subsystem with an appeal to make changes to employment contracts that indicate wages below the minimum, in accordance with legal requirements.
As Day.Az reports with reference to the ministry, the appeal notes that according to the decree of President Ilham Aliyev dated December 23, 2024, the minimum monthly wage was set at 400 manats from January 1, 2025.
Accordingly, the salary of employees who have worked a monthly standard of working time and fulfilled their job duties cannot be lower than this amount.
The State Labor Inspection Service emphasizes that employment contracts with wages below the minimum level must be amended and included in the “Labor and Employment” subsystem in accordance with the law.
Thanks to this subsystem, regular monitoring of the situation is carried out. All changes and terminations of employment contracts are recorded in real time. The subsystem allows you to track all wage data under employment contracts.
It is worth noting that, in accordance with Article 192.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences, payment of wages below the minimum level entails administrative liability.
