According to the analysis of Sino Singapore longitude and latitude clients, at least eight places in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, Shaanxi, Xinjiang and Tibet raised the minimum wage standard during the year. In addition, the majority of migrant workers will benefit from more specific adjustments and plans.

Up to now, the first monthly minimum wage in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong, Tianjin, Jiangsu and Zhejiang has exceeded 2000 yuan. Among them, the highest price in Shanghai is 2590 yuan.

It is understood that the monthly minimum wage standard is applicable to full-time employment of workers. If the workers provide normal work during the legal working hours or the working hours agreed in the labor contract signed according to law, the monthly wage paid by the employer shall not be lower than the monthly minimum wage standard.

The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of human resources and social security pointed out that the monthly minimum wage standard in Shanghai does not include the social insurance premium and housing accumulation fund paid by individual workers according to law, which shall be paid separately by employers. The overtime pay, middle night shift allowance, summer high temperature allowance, post allowance under toxic and harmful working environment, food allowance, commuting allowance and housing allowance are not part of the monthly minimum wage standard, and shall be paid separately by the employer.

According to the minimum wage provisions, the minimum wage standard shall be adjusted at least once every two years to determine and adjust the monthly minimum wage standard.

Shanghai previously adjusted the minimum wage standard in April 1, 2019. Why does Shanghai adjust the minimum wage after two years?

According to the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of human resources and social security, "the basic living expenses of urban low-income families, the consumer price index of urban residents, the level of economic development, the labor cost of enterprises, the average wage level of the whole city and other factors have been mainly considered, and the affordability of enterprises and the labor remuneration rights and interests of low-income workers have been taken into account."

In an interview with Zhongxin Jingwei, Professor Sun Zhongwei of the school of politics and public administration of South China Normal University said that the adjustment of the minimum wage directly brings about wage growth, mainly by improving the basic wage and overtime base of front-line workers.

Yang Baobao, a senior partner of BOC law firm, said that the increase in minimum wage is conducive to increasing the income of low-income groups and protecting their legitimate rights and interests to a certain extent; To a certain extent, it has narrowed the unequal income gap, which is conducive to maintaining social stability, preventing and reducing the occurrence of wage deduction（ Zhongxin (APP)
