Do you pay your staff the minimum wage of your country in your business?

[King Belieal]

Every country has labour regulations which among it's core provisions specifies the amount that workers are supposed to pay at the minimum by organisations they work in. It is called minimum wage.

Some businesses due to their small size can't afford to pay the minimum wage to their staff though. In my country, the minimum wage is about $28 per month. But I can't afford to pay that. I pay my two staff an equivalent of $20.

What is the minimum wage in your country? Can your business afford to pay minimum wage?

In Jakarta, the minimum wage is around $315 per month, but many entrepreneurs can only afford half of that, and most informal entrepreneurs are the same as my business, but I will always give a bonus if sales are high.

ln my country the minimum wage is about $130. However my business doesn't afford to pay that to any employee for that matter.

It is a shame that a minimum wage that is even below $30, many employers can't pay in Nigeria. How would you attract foreign investment with such a situation?

 

[Augusta]

That's how it should be but most private businesses here are just paying peanuts . They don't pay well to staff

 

[Stardom22]

In my country the minimum wage keeps increasing almost every year. So this can be a very big challenge for the business to pay.

I am not sure, but I think the minimum wage here in India is $200 per month, which seems to be less for a person to feed his family. Yes, in most organizations, people don't break the labor laws and give minimum wages to their workers, whereas in small-scale industries, they don't pay the minimum wage. Actually, due to overpopulation in India, there is lots of unemployment, so people here are easily available to work, even for lower salaries.

The minimum wage here for a government worker in the labor sector is $ 10 per day and for the office sector $ 25 per day . For the private sector, the minimum wage depends on the position and qualification of the worker.

There is always a minimum wage in a country. In private sector too, in your country there must be a minimum wage

When poverty and unemployment is prevalent, it is always very difficult to implement minimum wage regulations. In a country like the United States, paying the minimum wage is mandatory.

I already mentioned the minimum wage but in the academe there is basic salary and extra pay for extra loads paid hourly and the pay depends on the educational qualification of the teacher.

I do not hire anyone and at present I am making less than minimum wage at present because of the slavery racket of top tech, internet companies, government agencies. They are robbing the data of online workers, investors to make fake claims about government employees who do not do computer work , do not pay expenses, yet make fake claims using the robbed data and get monthly government salaries since 2010.

 

[King Belieal]

I think I that minimum wage should be enforced for companies around every country. Any business that fails to comply should be properly punished.

Professors are paid as per hour here also. Educational qualifications matters everywhere. You promotion and designation is decided as per your qualification.

if it is a start up or a small business you wouldn't need to pay the minimum wage of the state as the business as not yet gotten to such stage

 

[King Belieal]

I know that most banks in my country pay the minimum wage. Most corporate organisations start their renumeration package from the minimum wage else it is breaking of the law.

There are small business operator like in the port who charges their porters wage that doesn't abide the law. They're only happy with the tip from the passengers. Others do self portering.

That's the problem with the people living in the big cities but not having enough salary.

I don't have any staffs under my payroll at the moment, but i think that's how it should be.
