Low income people benefit the most

According to the provisions on minimum wage, the minimum wage standard generally takes the form of monthly minimum wage standard and hourly minimum wage standard. The monthly minimum wage is applicable to full-time employed workers, and the hourly minimum wage is applicable to part-time employed workers. Under the condition that the laborer provides normal labor, the wage payable by the employer to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.

It is reported that the determination and adjustment of the monthly minimum wage standard should refer to the minimum living expenses of local employees and their dependants, the consumer price index of urban residents, the social insurance premiums and housing provident fund paid by employees, the average wage of employees, the level of economic development, employment and other factors.

Generally speaking, the improvement of the minimum wage standard is the most beneficial to the low-income workers, and the most direct benefit is the workers whose wage level is just on the minimum standard line. On the date of raising the standard line, these workers can directly receive the salary after the 'rise'.

Raising the minimum wage will play a direct role in increasing the income of employees, especially in promoting the improvement of the wage level of low-income employees. The basic living expenses of employees will rise with the adjustment of the minimum wage under the conditions of unemployment insurance benefits, sick leave wages during the medical period, and unit shutdown and business suspension.

Experts say the minimum wage is calculated according to a rigorous set of formulas. If the standard is too low, the basic life of some low-income labor groups can not be guaranteed; If the standard is too high, it will lead to an increase in the pressure of enterprise human cost. If the enterprise loses or even closes down, it is still the workers who suffer the loss. Therefore, only suitable for the local situation is the key and sustainable.
