Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of the minimum wage. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report with regards to the civil service reform, including the continued role of the National Personnel Authority in formulating recommendations on the remuneration of civil servants. The Committee also notes the Government’s indication that workers’ and employers’ representatives in the fisheries sector reached an agreement in 2016 to expand the types of fisheries subject to the minimum wage and that it will continue to consider the setting of minimum wage rates for all types of fisheries in coordination with the workers’ and employers’ organizations concerned.
Articles 3 and 4. Minimum wage system. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government’s information on the methodology used to ensure that minimum wage rates are higher than the amount of the livelihood assistance. The Government states that minimum wages were above the public assistance level in all 47 prefectures in the financial year 2016. The Committee also notes the Government’s explanation on the differentiated rates at the regional level which are linked to the differences in living expenses, wages and ordinary enterprises’ ability to pay wages depending on the region. Lastly, the Committee notes the Government’s reply on the composition of the minimum wage councils, including the procedure of public notice to request proposals for nominations from workers’ and employers’ organization prior to the appointment of minimum wage councils.
