3 Minimum Wages Law:3 最低賃金法 ~ 日本の労働関係法令 ~

(1)Types of minimum wage:最低賃金の種類
There are two types of minimum wage as follows:
① Minimum wage by region (minimum wage separately prescribed for each prefecture)
② Specific minimum wage (by industry)(Minimum wage prescribed for core workers in each category)

(2)Effect of minimum wage (Article 4):最低賃金の効力
An employer shall pay workers wages an amount no less than the minimum wage (Paragraph 1).
Even if a labour contract is entered into between an employer and its employee specifying a commitment to pay a wage in an amount less than the minimum wage, such committed amount of wage shall be invalid and a labour contract providing for a wage in the same amount as the minimum wage shall be deemed to have been entered into between both parties (Paragraph 2)
In addition, in case both the minimum wage by region and specified minimum wage (by industry) apply simultaneously, a wage in the amount equivalent to the higher of the two minimum wages shall be paid (Article 6)

In order to check whether a wage being actually paid is the same of higher than the prescribed minimum wage, the amount of wage concerned shall be compared with applicable minimum wage by using the following method:
・ In case of an hourly wage: Hourly ≧ Minimum wage (per hour)
・ In case of a daily wage:
Daily wage ÷ Prescribed working hours per day ≧ Minimum wage (per hour)
(In case of specified minimum wage (by industry) prescribing an amount per day:
Daily wage ≧ Minimum wage (per hour)
・ In case of a monthly wage:
Monthly wage ÷ Prescribed working hours per month ≧ Minimum wage (per hour)
(In case the prescribed working hours differ depending on the month:
(Amount of monthly wage × 12 months) ÷Prescribed working hours per year ≧ Minimum wage (per hour))

※The minimum wages by region and specified minimum wage ( by industry) shall apply to dispatched workers.
