90-Minute Judgments: Minimum Wage

90-Minute Judgments: Minimum Wage

According to the Industrial Relations Act (Sec. 10:3), "...the Court in the exercise of its powers shall: (a) make such order or award in relation to a dispute before it as it considers fair and just, having regard to the interests of the persons immediately concerned and the community as a whole…”.

In this regard, careful study and analysis of judgements coming out of the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago are useful to inform and direct future behaviour, policies and decisions in relation to matters that involve employers and employees. Having knowledge of, and understanding these statutes can therefore offer essential guidance on managing workplace issues in accordance with the principles of good industrial relations practice.

This programme will educate employers, managers, and HR personnel on the legal, ethical, and practical aspects of minimum wage compliance, ensuring that all employees are fairly compensated according to current regulations, while promoting sustainable business practices, reducing legal risks, and supporting a positive workplace culture.
