Notes on this jurisdiction's rules and sources

Official minimum wage (الحد الأدنى الرسمي للأجور) for employees under the Labour Code, set by Council of Ministers decree on the Index Committee's recommendation, in Lebanese pounds (LBP). Decree 699 of 18 July 2025 (Official Gazette 32, 24 July 2025): LBP 28,000,000 per month and LBP 1,300,000 per day from 1 August 2025. The previous rate, LBP 9,000,000 per month (daily 410,000), approved 18 April 2023, has no row yet because no official text with its effective date is on file.
