Recently, the Ministry of Home Affairs
issued a draft decree guiding the 

00:00:06.419 --> 00:00:08.619 
application of the regional minimum wage in 2026. 

00:00:09.859 --> 00:00:13.051 
Specifically, according to Articles 3
and 4 of the draft decree, the minimum 

00:00:13.051 --> 00:00:16.489 
hourly wage is the lowest wage as a
basis for negotiating and paying wages 

00:00:16.489 --> 00:00:18.699 
to employees who apply the form of hourly wages, 

00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.338 
ensure that the salary according to the
job or title of the employee worked for 

00:00:22.338 --> 00:00:26.719 
one hour and that the agreed labor or
work rate must not be lower than the minimum hourly wage. 

00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:31.252 
Accordingly, from January 1, 2026, it is
expected that the regional minimum 

00:00:31.252 --> 00:00:33.519
