The Minimum Wage Commission decides on the level of the statutory minimum wage. As part of an overall assessment, it adjusts the minimum wage in such a way that it contributes to an appropriate minimum level of protection for employees, enables fair and functioning competitive conditions and does not jeopardise employment. The members of the commission come from employers' organisations, trade unions and academia. The adjustment decision of the Minimum Wage Commission comes into force through an ordinance of the Federal Government.
