Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac yesterday declined to say whether the government could keep its promise that the city’s law on a statutory minimum wage for all workers will finally be implemented in 2019.
According to a report in the Chinese-language newspaper Macao Daily News on November 23, Leong told reporters that the government would implement the statutory minimum wage in 2019, three years after the implementation of the minimum wage law for doormen and cleaners employed by property management companies on January 1 last year.
