Dongguan's Minimum Wage Will Increase By &Nbsp; &Nbsp; The Pressure Of Small And Medium Shoe Enterprises Will Be Higher.

After many twists and turns, the minimum wage in Dongguan will eventually rise in May 1st.

According to the notice issued yesterday by the Guangdong Provincial People's Government on adjusting the minimum wage standard for the staff and workers of our province, the minimum wage standard of Dongguan will be raised from 770 yuan / month to 920 yuan / month.

Reporters learned yesterday from the Dongguan Municipal Bureau of human resources, Dongguan, at least 920 yuan, "waiting for the announcement of the municipal government."

Experts believe that the release of positive signals will help alleviate the difficulties of recruiting workers in Dongguan, while the government should focus on upgrading industries and enhancing the happiness of migrant workers.

According to the notice, Dongguan will implement the standard of 920 yuan / month, up by 150 yuan from the previous 770 yuan, an increase of 19.5%, and the corresponding minimum wage standard for part-time workers will be raised from 8.8 yuan / hour to 7.4 yuan / hour.

Dongguan City Bureau of human resources, in principle, Dongguan will be in accordance with the provincial standards, but the notification clearly conditional areas can be appropriately set up standards in the provincial standard, Dongguan minimum wage standard of at least 920 yuan / month, the specific standard is "waiting for the municipal government to announce", the human resources department will according to the new standard "guide the enterprise to prepare for the work, after implementation, the human resources department will strengthen supervision and require enterprises to strictly implement".

Knowing that the minimum wage in Dongguan is at least 920 yuan / month, Mr. Zou of Da Ling Shan Tai Sheng Furniture Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is very happy.

Because at the end of last month, many employees of the factory stopped production because of the minimum wage standards, and asked for a factory wage increase.

The problem was solved until wages were not raised.

"If we calculate 920 yuan / month, the corresponding overtime pay will also rise," said Zou Xiansheng, who thought the pay increase was "far from being expected". "If you go to work 6 days a week, a general worker will be able to get around 2200 yuan / month, an increase of three hundred or four hundred yuan from the previous level, which is quite good from the current consumption level."

Compared with Mr. Zou's joy, Wang Qunli, director of human resources of Hui Ya Industrial Group, feels a little "digestible pressure". With 920 yuan as the standard, after calculation, "our enterprise's human resources cost will increase by about 6%, and the total cost will increase by 2%. In the next year, it will pay more than 700 thousand yuan according to the standard of 770 yuan / month."

Wang Qunli said, "in fact, our wages have been mentioned, almost in the category of 2000 yuan / month ~4000 yuan / month, the standard increase only affects the overtime pay, so the pressure is not big."

He believes that those low-end manufacturing processes and other small profits enterprises will have a great impact. "For example, some enterprises that support us, if their profit margins are below 10%, there will be considerable pressure, so their total cost will not only rise by 2%."

"The pressure of small and medium-sized enterprises which are mainly in processing and without independent property rights will be very large. Some small businesses will not be able to bear it," Zhang Qunkai, manager of Hui'an human resources recruitment department, is very contradictory. "No mention of wage workers who do not want to come. If too much is done, the general enterprises will not be able to accept it. If enterprises fail to survive, they will have an impact on the talent market."

In view of the views of several leading companies, the pressure of mold processing, hardware, toy industry, footwear industry and other industries will be relatively large. "Of course, it depends on the specific conditions of enterprises in different industries and their competitiveness."

It is worth noting that for the minimum wage standards set by the government, many respondents believe that the cost of employment has increased. If the profits of enterprises can not be guaranteed, the income of workers can not be substantially increased.

Ou Ruiqiu, a doctor of management at South China University of Technology, puts forward that "although the standard is there, there are many ways for the factory to circumvent regulation, such as ensuring minimum wages for employees, but it will be reduced in other ways". Zhang Qun Kai, who has worked in the city for many years, often believes that the government has the practice of the government, and that enterprises may have the practice of enterprises. If some enterprises are under too much pressure, they may try to avoid it. For example, some enterprises previously asked for food, accommodation and so on would require workers to hand in.

The implementation of minimum wage standards is very important, but one problem is: "if the supervision of relevant departments fails, there may be a situation of power rent seeking."

Ou Ruiqiu said.

Raising the minimum wage standard, the provincial people's Insurance Office's idea is to enhance the attractiveness of Guangdong's employment, guide the return of foreign labor, and ease the problem of recruitment difficulties in some industries.

In this regard, reporters interviewed almost all think that "can play a certain role."

This is more of a signal, mainly rely on market regulation, "showing changes in the labor market, to better treatment for migrant workers, but also shows a trend of industrial policy adjustment."

Jinan University industrial economics research institute teacher, Dr. Tao Feng said.

"Wage adjustment is mainly the role of the market, and administrative intervention can protect the fairness of vulnerable groups. However, the long-term development requirements of migrant workers, such as integration into cities, are not enough in terms of education and medical care," Li Qihai, a sociology doctor at Zhongshan University, said. "Now many new generation of migrant workers have their own way of life, a consumption oriented labor force. In 60s and 70s, only a small proportion of migrant workers were able to survive, and the majority of their money was sent to their own deprived consumption. The new generation valued public activities, whether there was a sense of belonging, dignity or happiness.

The government should make more efforts in this regard. "

"At the same time, Dongguan's position and profit space in the entire industrial chain are limited. If we do not develop to the upstream of the industrial chain, we will not be able to grasp the profit leading power, and the enterprises themselves do not have much profit and development space". Li Qihai analyzed, "if only the minimum wage is fine tuned, how can it be attractive to migrant workers"?
