[Breaking News] President Lee: 'Minimum wage is a legal floor... not a recommended wage' [Breaking News] President Lee: 'Minimum wage is just a floor... pay appropriate wages to public non-regular workers' [Breaking News] President Lee: 'It makes no sense for the government to contract people for 11 months just to avoid paying severance' President Lee: 'Minimum wage is a floor... pay appropriate wages to non-regular workers in the public sector' He also criticized the practice of '1 year 11 month contracts': 'If the work is constant and continuous, hire them as regular employees.' President Lee Jae-myung stated on the 9th during the 53rd State Council meeting held at the Yongsan Presidential Office, "Minimum wage is a floor below which you cannot pay; it is not a recommended wage," emphasizing that the public sector must pay appropriate wages. He criticized, "Why does the government, both central and local, only pay minimum wage when hiring people?" He added, "I can sympathize with companies trying to maximize profit by paying the minimum legally and socially permissible wage, but the government is an organization whose duty is to spend money well. Saving money is not the government's job. Its job is to spend well and efficiently, so why, when hiring people, do they only pay the legal minimum instead of a decent, appropriate wage commensurate with the labor?"

"Everyone agrees that using minimum wage as a ceiling, especially with garbage tactics like 11.5-month contracts and comprehensive wage systems, needs to stop. But there's huge skepticism that this political speech will actually lead to change, given the complexity and cost of restructuring public sector pay."
