2. The list of localities in regions I, II, III and IV is provided in the Appendix to this Decree.

a) An employer shall apply the minimum wage level prescribed for the locality where it/he/she operates.

b) In case an employer has units or branches based in localities for which different minimum wage levels are prescribed, each unit or branch shall apply the minimum wage level prescribed for the locality where it operates.

c) For an employer operating in industrial parks, export processing zones, high-tech parks or centralized digital technology parks based in localities for which different minimum wage levels are prescribed, the highest minimum wage level shall be applied.

d) For an employer operating in the locality which is renamed or divided, the minimum wage level prescribed for such locality before it is renamed or divided shall temporarily be applied pending the Government’s issuance of new regulations.

dd) For an employer operating in the locality established from one locality or from more than one locality for which different minimum wage levels are prescribed, the highest minimum wage level shall be applied pending the Government’s issuance of new regulations.

Article 4. Application of minimum wage levels

1. The monthly minimum wage level is the lowest wage level which serves as a basis for employers and employees to reach agreement on and make payment of wages to employees subject to monthly wage payment, provided that the level of job- or title-based wage to be paid to an employee who ensures a law-specified normal working time in a month and fulfills his/her labor norms or job as agreed must not be lower than the law-prescribed monthly minimum wage level.

2. The hourly minimum wage level is the lowest wage level which serves as a basis for employers and employees to reach agreement on and make payment of wages to employees subject to hourly wage payment, provided that the level of job- or title-based hourly wage to be paid to an employee who fulfills his/her labor norms or job as agreed must not be lower than the law-prescribed hourly minimum wage level.

3. For employees subject to weekly or daily wage payment or product- or piecework-based wage payment, their wage level which is converted into monthly or hourly wage level must not be lower than the law-prescribed monthly or hourly minimum wage level. The wage level converted into monthly or hourly wage level based on the normal working time shall be selected by employers in accordance with the labor law, specifically as follows:

a) The wage level converted into monthly wage level shall be equal to the weekly wage level multiplied by 52 weeks and divided by 12 months; or the daily wage level multiplied by the number of normal working days in a month; or the product- or piecework-based wage level for jobs performed within the normal working time in a month.

b) The wage level converted into hourly wage level shall be equal to the weekly or daily wage level divided by the number of normal working hours in a week or a day; or the product- or piecework-based wage level divided by the number of working hours within the normal working time for the production of products or performance of piecework.

Article 5. Effect and implementation responsibility

4. Employers shall review agreements in their labor contracts, collective labor agreements and regulations for appropriate adjustment or supplementation; may neither abolish nor cut wage-based overtime or night-shift allowances, benefits in kind and other entitlements in accordance with the labor law. It is permitted to continue implementing the contents already agreed or committed in labor contracts, collective labor agreements or other lawful agreements that are more beneficial to employees than those provided in this Decree (such as the wage regime under which employees performing jobs or positions requiring higher levels of education or vocational training are paid at least 7% higher than the minimum wage level; the wage regime under which employees performing jobs or positions under heavy, hazardous, or dangerous working conditions are paid at least 5% higher; and the wage regime under which employees performing jobs or positions under especially heavy, hazardous, or dangerous working conditions are paid at least 7% higher than the wage level applicable to jobs or positions of equivalent complexity performed under normal working conditions), unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
