Azerbaijan to introduce hourly wage system

Azerbaijan plans to introduce an hourly wage system. Day.az, citing APA, reported that this is reflected in proposed amendments to the Labour Code.

According to the bill, hourly pay will be set if one of two conditions is met. The first is when an employment contract is concluded for less than one month at enterprises operating in economic sectors whose list is approved by a body designated by the relevant executive authority, as well as at jobs created by employers who are individuals. The second is when working hours are set at 20 hours per week or less.

The report does not say when the changes would take effect.
