Minimum wage in your nation?

[Zokoria]

We never had one because minimum wages are COMMUNIST!

^ Definitely THIS!

[The Mercenary Peoples]

Our minimum wage is $2 credits or about $10 USD.

There are no jobs that can pay below this and make up the difference in tips so the act of tipping is sole for either excellent performance in the employees duties or for going above and beyond their normal duties.

[Ecans]

No minimum wage. We believe that the market is best at setting remuneration. We also have a good social safety net and have a minimum living standard for those who are physically or mentaly disadvantaged or upgrading their skills and we don't allow child poverty.

[Swilatia]

Untipped: Ŧ4.25 an hour, or roughly US$7.75.
Tipped: Ŧ2.15 an hour, or roughly US$3.91.

Thankfully, our minimum wage for tipped workers is 6,40sw, same as for all other workers.

Seriously, nobody should have to live off tips.

[San Leggera]

Untipped: Ŧ4.25 an hour, or roughly US$7.75.
Tipped: Ŧ2.15 an hour, or roughly US$3.91.

The minimum wage was listed. Wages in San Leggera are often many times the minimum. Tipped minimum wages are lower than untipped minimum wages as San Leggerans tend to tip rather generously.

About £9 an hour.

[The Freethinkers]

OOC: It varies;

* Legal minimum wage is quite low, approximately £4.10/hour (2 Mintels/hour, though individual municipalities can set higher wages.
* For young (16 to 18) and apprenticiship/other work based training its £3.05/hour (1.5 Mintels/hour).

Generally, legal wages tend to be far higher in most industries. Tips are not included in the minimum wage, however, which is related to the fact Freestians tend to tip rather poorly unless service is very good or better.

[Central Lothian]

We have a minimum wage - CL£7.68 per hour.

[New Vudnia]

Not exactly, the Department of the Economy releases a statement every year which states what a “Living wage” is based on things like Inflation, scarcity of certain foods, taxes and available real estate. All employers must pay each (Adult) employee amounts which will add up to the DE’s equation by the end of the year. It is assumed that anyone under the age of 20 is still living with their parents, so they don’t have to earn the living wage. If this is not the case, they can make a claim to their boss and receive the full wage.

Doesn't not having a minimum wage essentially legalize de facto slavery? Couldn't (and wouldn't) most employers pay a purely nominal fee to their workers, meaning that only a lucky handful would get positions actually allowing them to get a living wage from their jobs? In that case, wouldn't workers notice and revolt or something?

I think that's the problem with the mighty-righties out here assuming that they can demolish unemployment and become an economic superpower because they have no minimum wage.

[La Vignon]

The Minimum wage of the Republic is 5₣(Francs) Per hour, equivalent to about 7.50$ NSD.

[Star Trek America]

8 Sults ($) to the hour is the minimum wage in Amerique; equal to about 12 USD.

[Maravaile]

The Court of the Exchequer has mandated at Least $7.50 per hour, at minimum.

... Unfortunately, it hasn't kept pace with inflation, so there is a debate about raising it by another 70 cents.

[Bojikami]

Nope.

[United Plantagnets]

There is no minimum wage in the Confederacy.

[The Grand Republic of Hannover]

RP$4.15 about 8 USD (2012)

[Saurisisia]

What about the mighty-lefties who compare not having minimum wage to slavery? Kinda smells of a fallacy in our books.

[Mianjing]

Minimum wage in Mianjing is about MJ$ 11 per hour, equivalent to U$ 7.62

[Nordenkalt]

I'm not saying it's necessarily equal to slavery, but without any minimum wage you've effectively legalized de facto slavery from those who want to abuse the lack of legislation.

[Disserbia]

12 ak47s. Yeah. It'd be wise not to fuck with us.

Then they die away when consumers want nothing to do with their business when they treat their workforce like that.

Or when the workforce itself leaves.
