The government said Thursday it has been exercising various options to introduce fresh wage system in the country keeping in view the alarming concerns raised by trade unions and employees.

According to the Ministry of Labour and Transport Management, it has been conducting a series of parleys with all stakeholders including the the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry for introducing new wage system.

A joint meeting held at the ministry on Thursday informally agreed to introduce new minimum wage system, but no concrete decision was taken.

Joint secretary Deepak Subedi told reporters that the meeting decided to prepare a new package to resolve all the existing problems and introduce new wage system. nepalnews.com
