Cabinet has approved a proposal by the Minister of Labour to take necessary to steps to increase estate sector employee daily wage to Rs 1000.

The Budget proposals presented to Parliament in November 2020 proposed a daily wage of Rs 1000 for the estate sector. After several rounds of discussions between the various parties, an "Estate employee salaries collective agreement 2019-2020" was signed.
