The gross monthly wage of workers at China Mall has been revealed on social media. And it will surprise you to know that workers of China Mall are paid 580ghc every month.
This information became public knowledge after the corporation published a new policy requesting employees to refrain from abandoning their responsibilities.
According to sources, if any employee misses work for whatever reason, the corporation will have no option but to deduct the cost from their already meagre salary, as stated in the memo that was sent to each and every employee by the company.
Edem, who had access to the confidential material, tweeted the following:
Employees of China Mall disclosed that;
- they are paid 580ghc p/m
- they have to work every day of the month
- any day off is deducted from their salary
This new disclosure has sparked a debate on social media in which many people have called out China Mall.
Others, nevertheless, have suggested that China Mall has not violated any labour laws since the amount that they pay their employees is equivalent to Ghana’s minimum wage.
This line of reasoning is supported by the fact that China Mall has not been accused of breaking any labour laws.
Some netizens have been reacting to the news. Here is what some of them had to say;

“Don’t blame China Mall, blame the govt. Minimum wage has been set at GHC13.53 per day. multiplied by 31 days is GHC419.43 per month. They are not breaking any labour law. They are just taking advantage of bad governance n a poor economy“.

“This hard economy and china mall is paying its workers Gh580 for 30days? Government can’t say sh!t because they decided to pay Gh559 as NSS allowance. I don’t even want to comment on teacher’s salaries“.

“I have worked at China Mall before. In 2018/19. After SHS. At then, we were paid 300gh per month. You have one day off in a week. Every other day, is a working day. When anything gets damage in course of work or by customers, the worker on duty bear the cost. On busy days Overtime becomes compulsory for all workers. We could work from 9am to 11/12. As if, that is not enough, we at times visit the house of the Chinese managers to clean, pack among others. They mostly call the females to do that for them. As to what happens to the girls after the clean up, only God knows. I don’t know for now, but then, work was hell, you don’t have any right to rest or relax even when there’s nothing to do. The Chinese bosses always want to see you busy. When you are done with your work, they’ll assign you to something else.
The funny part of the experience is when we go for meetings, we parade like primary school kids with our fingers on our lips; you dare not pass a comment or raise a concern. Once you do, you receive a notice to quit work. Thus, you weigh the risk before you speak.
One may think, the problem is the Chinese bosses. But hell no, it has always been our fellow black supervisors who receive twice our salary (600gh). The Chinese promised to reward their loyalty by taking them to China to learn a skill. Thus, they went hard on we the ordinary.
Feeding the Chinese with atrocious and obnoxious information so as to win their non-existent trust. Our poor black supervisors were crude, rude and arrogant. They take advantage over the girls and assign hectic roles to the males after a lady they like.
The was an instance where one supervisor, served a worker a dismissal letter while the Chinese bosses were not aware. Lmao. Imma end here but working at china mall was hell. Thank God, life got better.
