No matter when and where, wages are people's most concerned about the topic, about the minimum wage standard basically every year will be adjusted, then the minimum wage standard in Shanghai is how much? Being in Shanghai you minimum wage upward? I organize the following content for you, let's understand it together!
From April 1, the city's monthly minimum wage was adjusted from 2300 yuan to 2420 yuan, an increase of 120 yuan, an increase of about 5.2%; hourly minimum wage was adjusted from 20 yuan to 21 yuan.
The monthly minimum wage standard applies to workers in full-time employment. The monthly minimum wage does not include social insurance premiums and housing provident funds paid by individual workers in accordance with the law, overtime pay for extended working hours, mid- and night-shift allowances, summer high-temperature allowances, and allowances for jobs in special working environments such as toxic and hazardous environments, as well as meal allowances, transportation allowances for commuting to and from work and housing allowances, also do not form a part of the monthly minimum wage.
The hourly minimum wage standard applies to workers in part-time employment, i.e., the average daily working hours in the same employer generally do not exceed four hours, and the cumulative weekly working hours do not exceed 24 hours, and does not include the social insurance premiums paid by the worker and the employer in accordance with the law.
Every year, the minimum wage increase triggers the collective attention of workers and enterprises, more or less, and what are the changes this year?
1, the adjustment range "less" more value-added
With the announcement of Shanghai on March 21 this year, the minimum wage upward, this year, clearly to adjust the minimum wage in the provinces and cities has increased to six, and before that, Jiangxi, Tibet, Liaoning has been since January 1 this year, completed the minimum wage standards. February 1, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Government issued "Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region People's Government on the adjustment of the region's minimum wage standard notice", clear that with immediate effect to adjust the minimum wage standard for employees in the region, a class of wages from the previous 1400 yuan per month adjusted to 1,680 yuan per month, a rise of 280 yuan per month, adjusting the increase of 20% for the current adjustment range of the largest provinces and cities.
At first glance, Shanghai's 5.2% increase and Guangxi's 20% increase has a certain gap, but in fact, Shanghai's adjustment of the minimum wage standard instead of more value-added. Labor Daily reporter learned from the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions Protection Department, affected by the macroeconomic slowdown, last year, even including 2016, the country's multi-region did not adjust the minimum wage standard, only about two-thirds of the 31 provinces and cities have been adjusted, and a number of provinces and cities have not been clearly adjusted until now. In recent years, Shanghai, in addition to the financial crisis in 2009 by the impact of the temporary adjustment of the minimum wage level, the rest of the time have continued the basic law of one adjustment a year, and one year even adjusted twice. In this view, a substantial adjustment may be a few years of unadjusted stock accumulation, "small steps" type of continuation of the increase can bring more sense of gain to the workers.
In addition, on the numerical point of view, Shanghai's minimum wage in 2017 was 2300 yuan, ranking first in the country's provinces and cities, due to a large base, even if it is a five percent increase, the amount of upward adjustment has been more than one hundred dollars, to more than one hundred dollars of growth in the country, should also belong to the forefront of the rate of increase.
The adjustment of the minimum wage is in the environment of rising prices, to protect the basic needs of employees to respond to a response, on the adjustment of the minimum wage standard and Shanghai's price increases compared to the situation, the National Bureau of Statistics released last year's price index shows that in 2017 the national consumer prices (CPI) rose by 1.6% compared to the previous year, Shanghai's annual consumer price index growth by 1.7%. Among them, the price index of food, tobacco and alcohol increased by 1.2, the price index of clothing increased by 0.5%, the value index of living goods and services increased by 1.5%, the price index of transportation and communication increased by 0.7%, the price index of living quarters increased by 1.7%, the price index of education, culture and recreation increased by 0.9%, and the price index of healthcare was 6.6%, and in the above data, except for the price index of healthcare, the In the above data, except for the price index of health care, the growth of the rest of the indexes is much lower than the increase of the minimum wage standard this time.
"Based on the above points, the rise in the minimum wage level cannot simply be a horizontal comparison of regional values, but should be viewed in an integrated and comprehensive manner," the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions Protection Department said.
2, individual bargaining less industry collective bargaining more
The minimum wage standard is to take into account the vulnerable groups affected by education, employability, lack of bargaining power to play a role in the bottom of the mechanism, is the enterprise can not be overstepped by the bottom line of the law, but also low-income people to meet the basic life of the most direct protection.
One survey showed that the proportion of people receiving wages at the most recent wage rate is inversely proportional to the level of education, with the proportion of people gradually decreasing as the level of education rises; in addition, the proportion of labor dispatch workers receiving labor compensation at the minimum wage rate is significantly higher than that of contract workers; in terms of industries and positions, most of the workers who receive wages at the minimum wage rate are concentrated in the manufacturing industry, From the perspective of industries and posts, most of the workers receiving wages at the minimum wage rate are concentrated in the production line and auxiliary posts in the manufacturing, service, wholesale and retail, catering and accommodation industries. These workers, either because of their special status in the organization or because of the low technical content of the work they are engaged in and their own limited education, are usually insignificant in the enterprise, have no right to vote, and their bargaining power with the enterprise on wages is very limited.
In 2016, the Shanghai Municipal Government issued the Opinions on Deepening the Market-oriented Reform of the City's Maintenance Industry to Improve the Wage Levels of Frontline Workers, which put forward clear requirements for the incomes of frontline workers in several major service industries with a relatively low degree of marketization, such as the environmental sanitation industry, the greening and maintenance industry, the river maintenance industry, the road maintenance industry, and the pipeline maintenance industry, and set up a minimum wage in the industry in the maintenance industry. system. According to the adjustment of the city's minimum wage standard, combined with the actual situation of the industry, increase the city's minimum wage standard for the conservation industry year by year, before 2018, so that the industry's minimum wage standard gradually reached not less than 120% of the city's minimum standard.
"Most of the business carried out in these industries is carried out in the form of government-purchased services, with a relatively low degree of marketization, and it is difficult to realize the income of front-line workers by means of market adjustment, so the government departments hope to maximize the protection of the rights and interests of front-line workers through the issuance of guidance and the promotion of collective bargaining. " Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions Protection Department of the relevant personnel to explore and gradually establish industry minimum wage system, not only can fundamentally change the wages and other matters involving the immediate interests of employees unilaterally decided by enterprises, so that labor and management **** with the decision to become an institutional arrangement, but also take into account the differences in the industry, to ensure that workers in different industries, especially front-line workers to obtain the city's economic and industrial development of the wages and incomes compatible with the city. . This is a more obvious advantage among the groups of workers with relatively weaker bargaining power.
3, the recruitment notice appeared less on the contract appeared more
Frequent contact with the recruitment market, or browse the recruitment website may find that in recent years, the minimum wage level of recruitment of personnel enterprises less and less, or even basically can not be seen. Labor Daily reporter in the search for cleaning, security, general workers, food service workers and other wages in the past always stick to the minimum wage "low fly" types of work found that the monthly salary basically to 2,500 yuan to start, and the monthly salary range between 2,500 yuan -3,000 yuan in the total number of jobs provided by the number of jobs accounted for a very low ratio, the monthly salary range of 3,000 yuan -4,500 yuan between jobs. -The number of jobs with a monthly salary range between RMB 3,000 and RMB 4,500 is the highest, and the number of jobs with a monthly salary range between RMB 4,500 and RMB 6,000 is the second highest. The survey results also matched last year's HR market statistics. Statistics show that in August 2017, the average monthly recruitment salary of all kinds of employers in Shanghai's human resources market released jobs was 4,630 yuan, an increase of 8.8% compared with the same period last year, showing a general trend of year-on-year increases. Even if the rate of increase is not small, from the point of view of the growth rate, the current recruitment of monthly salary compared with the same period last year, an increase of 8.8%, or slightly lower than in recent years the average annual growth of 9.6% of the average level of the Shanghai human resources market.
"Last year, the starting price of wages in the market has long risen to 3,500 yuan per month, which refers to some common types of work without technical content, such as waiters, security guards and so on. Like welders and other skilled trades generally pay more than 6,000 yuan a month, but also food and shelter. Courier and delivery workers, not to mention the higher wages." Undertake a number of labor outsourcing project Mr. Weng introduced, if the job posting, posted a monthly salary is the minimum wage, applicants do not even look, if the recruitment of assembly line workers even if the opening of the 4,000 yuan / month wage is also very difficult to recruit, therefore, some companies to attract people to play the ball, simply put the pre-tax wages posted on the job posting, the actual workers to the hands of the income is not necessarily high. In such an environment, in the past two years, Mr. Weng's business focus has had to shift from the original sanitation and security markets to the courier and takeaway markets.
Mr. Weng's claim has some basis, according to statistics, in August 2017, the average expected monthly salary of job seekers in Shanghai's human resources market was 4,474 yuan, an increase of 4.8% compared with the same period last year, and an increase of 33.6% compared with the same period five years ago, with an average annual growth rate of 5.9%. Many workers have reflected that rising housing rental prices and prices have put enormous pressure on them to live on the minimum wage, which has forced them to place more emphasis on whether companies provide food and accommodation when choosing a job.
While, in the job advertisement, the minimum wage rate is low, but it does not mean that the minimum wage from these low-skilled types of work completely disappeared, it is more in the labor contract "basic wage" column. From the recent years to the window of the newspaper to visit the situation of workers, security guards, skilled labor and other positions of the basic wage is the level of the minimum wage standard, the composition of their income in addition to the basic wage, but also includes various types of allowances, as well as "not expensive" overtime pay, for example, a production line worker's income of more than $ 6,000 per month, of which nearly 4,000 yuan! May be all overtime pay, because the base of economic compensation does not include overtime pay, this wage and overtime pay upside down phenomenon makes in recent years, in the termination of labor relations, enterprises and employees on the amount of economic compensation has not been able to reach agreement, but also forced employees to get higher income, have to take the initiative to ask for overtime.
4, take the minimum wage less attention of enterprises
While, according to the minimum wage standard to receive labor compensation of the gradual decrease in the number of people, but this does not prevent enterprises and HR to the minimum wage standard adjustment to maintain a sustained high degree of attention.
Mrs. Lin, a senior HR director who has been working in a traditional manufacturing company for nearly two decades, revealed that in the past, every time the minimum wage was adjusted, she would ask the relevant personnel specifically responsible for salary performance and social security payment to follow up in time, check the number of workers in the company whose salaries were at the minimum wage level, adjust the payment of wages in time, and at the same time, calculate the situation of those workers whose salaries were slightly higher than the minimum wage level, and understand the situation of those workers who had adjusted the base of social security. At the same time, the company will also check the situation of employees whose salaries are slightly higher than the minimum wage level, and find out whether their after-tax salaries are higher than the new standard after adjusting the social security base, so as to avoid unnecessary disputes. In the past two years, with the improvement of salary standards in the labor market, there are basically no more workers who actually receive the minimum wage in enterprises, but every year, the minimum wage standard is adjusted or not, how much is adjusted, and how big is the range, Ms. Lin will still keep an eye on it at all times: "The adjustment of the minimum wage standard is the result of a comprehensive consideration of the basic living expenses of low-income families, urban and rural areas. The adjustment of the minimum wage standard is calculated by taking into account the basic living expenses of low-income families, the consumer price index for urban residents, the average wage of employees, the level of economic development, and the labor costs of enterprises. Therefore, the minimum wage standard provides a reference for society as a whole. When the standard is raised, the overall pay level in society will also be raised, and the employees of enterprises will then request for a pay rise, and even if our company does not go up, when the pay for the same position in other enterprises has risen, the market will force us to adjust the pay of our employees upwards. In this process, how to increase, how much, the adjustment of the minimum wage standard can be used as a reference and basis, of course, this is also an important parameter to determine the rate of wage increase when conducting collective wage negotiations."
Mr. Xue, HR director of an FMCG company, elaborated on his personal concerns about the minimum wage standard adjustment from another angle. He explained that in many enterprises there are sales or sales promotion positions, the basic salary of employees engaged in these occupations is often the reference to the local minimum wage, most of the income is made up of sales commission, if the sales performance is unsatisfactory, then there is a possibility that they can only get the minimum wage. Therefore, the adjustment of the minimum wage standard also has a greater impact on the staff of these sales positions. This is one of the main reasons why companies should always be highly sensitive to minimum wage adjustments.
Mrs. Lin and Mr. Xue's statements are representative, and according to a survey corroborated by the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, nearly 80% of the workers believe that the minimum wage adjustment has a role to play in raising the wage level of workers; and nearly 40% of the workers believe that the minimum wage hike is the biggest factor in pushing up their own wages.
5, hard infringement disputes less misunderstanding triggered more disputes
Every year, the newspaper's petition room will be for all kinds of complaints for the number of cases to be collated, according to the feedback of the data in the last three years, the number of complaints directly related to the issue of the minimum wage for the number of complaints for the minimum wage is zero, but with the minimum wage issue associated with the implicit infringement of the incident is not much, but still from time to time.
For example, not long ago, a security guard visited this newspaper to report that his monthly income was calculated on a daily basis, with a daily paycheck of $150, but the company not only required them to work a full 12 hours a day, but also took very little vacation. This employee has done a calculation for himself, he calculated according to the integrated working hours system, a month of wages in hand although there are 4,500 yuan, but the working hours are more than double the required time, even if not counting overtime pay, his monthly salary should be higher than 4,600 yuan. Based on the reality, he believes that his actual income is lower than the city's minimum wage standard, so he came to this newspaper for advice.
There was also a worker who worked less than half a month in February because during February, excluding the Chinese New Year vacation, the company simply stopped several production lines due to staffing constraints, which directly led to the worker working less than half a month that month. When he got his February salary at the beginning of March, he was dumbfounded that his salary was not high enough to be "cut" in half, and the specific amount was directly "dropped" below the Shanghai minimum wage standard, for which he believed that the enterprise's practice not only infringed on his rights and interests but also violated the relevant regulations on minimum wage in Shanghai. The company's practice not only violates his rights and interests, but also violates the relevant provisions of the minimum wage in Shanghai.
To address the issue of minimum wage, the Labor Contract Law clearly stipulates that the wages paid by employers to workers cannot be lower than the local minimum wage. If the employer violates the minimum wage, the worker can ask the employer to pay the difference through labor inspection and arbitration. A reporter from the Shanghai Labor Inspection Bureau told the newspaper that the city's enforcement of minimum wage regulations is similar to the statistics from the newspaper's letters and visits window: there are few complaints or reports of malicious violations of the minimum wage regulations, and most of the complaints involving violations of the minimum wage regulations stem from a misunderstanding of the policy.
Shanghai Labor Supervision Team Yan Bo revealed that with the media's increased publicity of the minimum wage adjustment, employers have become more and more cooperative in the implementation, and few companies will maliciously break the bottom line. In terms of the complaint cases accumulated so far, some small and micro enterprises may forget to adjust or omit to adjust because they don't have professional human resource management ability; in addition, some employees may have misunderstanding about the content of the minimum wage: "Some enterprises have a lot of categories of wage composition, including basic wage, seniority wage, post allowance and many other contents, and employees may mistakenly think that the basic wage is lower than the current year's minimum wage, but they may not know what to do. mistakenly believe that if the basic wage is lower than the current year's minimum wage standard, the enterprise is in violation of the law, and then complained to our department, but their actual monthly wages in hand have been stable above the minimum wage line, and this kind of complaint due to misunderstanding bias occupies most of the complaints in the minimum wage category." Therefore, to fundamentally eliminate such disputes, in addition to issuing notices to be informed when the minimum wage standard is adjusted every year, it should also increase the interpretation of the policy on a daily basis, so that more people can correctly understand the minimum wage standard; secondly, enterprises should also enhance the level of human resource management, and maintain a high level of attention and sensitivity around several key points in time every year.
