The government reaffirmed yesterday that it will finally submit a bill on the implementation of a statutory minimum wage for all workers to the legislature this year.
Macau is the only Chinese jurisdiction that still does not have an overall minimum wage law.
Executive Council spokesman Leong Heng Teng made the remarks while replying to media questions during a press conference at Government Headquarters, where he announced that the council, the government’s top advisory body, has drafted a bill which proposes that the statutory minimum wage for cleaners and doormen employed by the property management sector be raised to 32 patacas per hour from the current amount of 30 patacas an hour, an increase of 6.6 percent.
