The labour ministry has instructed all factory owners to pay wages for the month of February within the first seven working days of March and to pay festival bonuses by 12 March.


Labour minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury announced the decisions after a meeting of the Tripartite Consultative Committee (TCC) held at CIRDAP in the capital's Topkhana Road today (3 March).


According to meeting sources, the Ministry of Labour and Employment also requested factory owners to pay half of the current month's wages in advance following discussions with workers, noting that about 150 RMG factories had not paid December 2025 wages as of 2 March 2026.
