State Minister for Labour and Employment Monnujan Sufian has ordered industrial units, including readymade garment factories, to pay workers their salaries and festival allowances by July 7.
She issued a statement to this effect on Sunday.
Earlier, she held an RMG Tripartite Consultative Council (TCC) after two separate meetings with stakeholders last week.
She said: "After the meetings with representatives of owners and workers, the government set a deadline of July 7 for factories, both private and public, to pay the salary for June."
