Falklands: Consultation on National Minimum Wage accommodation regulation

Falklands Secretariat, HQ of the Islands government administration offices

Following approval at Executive Council on Tuesday 27 August, the Falkland Islands Government is holding a public consultation from this week to Tuesday 22 October 2024, on the Minimum Wage Accommodation offset rate.

The accommodation offset rate allows employers to offset some of the cost of providing accommodation to workers against their wages paid. The offset rate has been in place since 2013 and now FIG is seeking feedback from affected workers and employers to understand its impact and how it should be applied in the future.

Drop-in sessions will be held at the Harbor Lights Conference Room on the following dates:

• 12-1pm, Thursday 10 October 2024

• 5-6pm, Tuesday 15 October 2024
