St. Kitts and Nevis Prime Minister Denzil Douglas has told workers that they could be taking home bigger pay cheques in the near future.
He says the first draft of a review of the minimum wage is now before the Cabinet.
Douglas says the Ministry of Labour has been directed to begin the process of consultations with a view to increasing the minimum wage so that minimum wage earners can better cope with the rising cost of living.
Minimum wage earners in St Kitts currently receive EC$250 for a forty-hour week.
