The Namibian labor officials took back more than N$2 million for workers whose bosses withheld their pay last year. These collections helped 3,317 employees who filed complaints about missing wages between April 2024 and March 2025. Many companies failed to pay overtime, holiday work, or made unauthorized cuts from paychecks. Work inspectors found most violations in central cities like Windhoek and Swakopmund, where they recovered N$722,119. Southern towns such as Keetmanshoop saw the lowest recovery amount at just N$130,608.

Government teams checked 1,739 workplaces to see if they followed employment rules. Most businesses passed inspection, with 1,380 meeting legal standards. The ministry caught 353 companies breaking labor laws during their visits. Maria Hedimbi from the Justice Department shared these findings on Thursday. The ministry worries about how many employers continue to ignore worker rights across different industries.
