The Minimum Wage Act

---

-snip-

This is a good starting point for the rights of the working masses of the country. To be able to reach better consciousness, the workers must not have the spectre of hunger hanging over them at every prospect. It would be an honor to sponsor the bill.

(OOC: Edited because I broke the thread, m80's).

Thank you for your support.

I like this as far as it goes for adult employees but the exceptions for students, underage etc are just too much - at present it would be perfectly legal to employ university student at $0.5 per hour... The part time exception is just unnecessary and with groups like apprentice instead of leaving it to civil service, there should be explicit clause legislating minimum wage.
Something like this: Over 21: 100%, 18 to 21: 80%, Under 18: 58%, Apprentice: 40%.
Also given minimum wage is per hour, it should apply to seasonal, part time and farm workers (they get paid pro rata).

I oppose the Minimum Wage Act, as the specified minimum wage of $3 amount is insufficient.

The minimum wage should be around 40-50% of GDP per capita, as is common practice around the world. This would provide a sensible wage rate that would be liveable while not being unrealistic.

Our GDP per capita is between $15-$25k per annum.

Let's say $20k is the GDP p.c. and that it is set at 45% of this amount.

That's a minimum salary of $9,000 a year. Assuming that the working-week is 40 hours, this would be equivalent to about $4.32 per hour.

I also oppose discriminatory rates for young workers, and other individuals such as seasonal workers.

In addition, I feel that overtime rates should be set at 150%, rather than a nominal amount. (For example, if you earn $5 per hour, overtime hours would be worth $7.50). The law also neglects to define overtime or the standard working week.


The Minimum Wage Act needs serious revisions to ensure workers are protected, and that businesses can understand the regulations that apply to them. The act also neglects the role that unions should play in this social dialogue.

$4.32 would be relatively high for the region, so we were trying to go for a more realistic bill. I wouldn't be opposed to raising it.

$4.32 would be relatively high for the region, so we were trying to go for a more realistic bill. I wouldn't be opposed to raising it.

Our GDP per capita is already relatively high for the region, so therefore our wages would be a bit higher. We wouldn't have a GDP per capita of $20k while having an average wage of $5k. (For example -- both Mexico and the USA are in N. America, but the USA is richer so it has higher wages.) I used a proportional formula to calculate $4.32. Costa Rica's minimum wage is 49.6% of its GDP per capita, Peru's is 47.9%, and so on.

Peru, for example however, has a GDP per capita of $6,819. If our GDP p.c. is $20,000 then proportionally the minimum wage would be $4.01.

I have a few issues I wish to raise with the marriage act.

1: As it stands now, close relation incestuous marriage would be legal. I'm a bit uncomfortable with that. Although it may not be as much of an issue for a group marriage, a two-person marriage between people with greater than 5% genetic kinship degree or persons of direct ancestry chains (e.g. parent/child, grand-parent/grand-child) would be possible and problematic. As would marriages between adoptive family members (admittedly I'm not so very concerned with marriages between step-siblings, but adoptive-parents and -children runs into the same problems I associate with a direct chain of ancestry).

2: As it currently stands, the government would be bound to recognize marriages performed abroad which would be illegal here. In particular I am concerned about the fact that persons in underage marriages we wouldn't allow would be legally recognized. Even though an underage person may consent to a marriage, this can often be due to other pressures or coercions. I feel that should be amended.

Otherwise this has my enthusiastic support. If changes can be made to satisfy my concerns, or at least someone can provide me with acceptable arguments as to why my concerns are not problems, I will gladly sponsor.

Ah, yes, forgot about the incest stuff. I'll fix that. (though not right now, no time)

As for the second point, if a marriage was underage, the argument could be made that the underage person in question was not mature enough to consent to it, rendering it null and void in our country.

If that is the intention then that should be explicitly stated, I think. Otherwise it would leave it in the hands of a court which may decide to recognize the marriage.

As stated before $4.32 is a good starting point if the figures stated by Atlanticatia are correct.

The issue in inherently political.

[Dejanic]

It'll make it less politicalized than a flat minimum wage that will never get raised properly along side inflation and will be constantly used as a political tool.

And as I said, union collective bargaining will assure low wage workers higher wages than a minimum wage.

Oh and I'm against the clause which states that overtime workers should earn 50p more per hour. A worker doing an hour or two over time is already massively beneficial towards the worker, another 50p per more hour isn't needed, unless the business in question wishes to offer that. But it shouldn't be law.
