Notes on this jurisdiction's rules and sources
General minimum wage under Law 5/2020 (僱員的最低工資, in force 2020-11-01), amended by Law 19/2023 (from 2024-01-01) and Law 14/2025 (from 2026-01-01); reviewed every two years. Art. 4 sets separate amounts per pay basis: monthly, weekly, daily and hourly (and an hourly average for piece-rate pay) - published as separate rows by period. Domestic workers and employees with disabilities are outside the law (the latter get a government income subsidy). The original 2020 amounts (MOP 6,656 / 1,536 / 256 / 32) are not yet rows.
