The Labour Commissioner’s register distinguishes final notifications from preliminary proposals. The 2026 shops and commercial establishments entry is labelled preliminary.

A proposed rate is not a final payroll rate. A current payable amount requires the applicable final schedule and the relevant dearness allowance calculation.

No draft amount or older-year wage table has been seeded as a current rate.
