The Ministry of Social Protection is warning private security companies to obey the law as it relates to the minimum wage or face the attendant penalties.
Keith Scott, Minister of Social Protection, with responsibility for Labour, issued the call yesterday morning at a seminar for private security providers, at his Brickdam office, a release from the Depart-ment of Public Information (DPI) said.
“We at the Ministry of Social Protection are inclined to believe, that while other National States have made much progress, Guyana is at a virtual standstill, if not in a state of regression, in respect of the subject under focus. Such a situation must be reversed if we are to approach our mandate of national development with the seriousness it deserves.” Scott said.
