CPPCC Members Heat Shenzhen's "Raise"

After the minimum wage standard is raised, enterprises can digest the cost pressure through many channels.

From February 1, 2012 onwards, Shenzhen The minimum wage for full-time workers is 1500 yuan / month, the highest level in the country. What is the wage level of the labor service workers? Shenzhen's "wage increase" has also aroused heated debate among CPPCC members. CPPCC members said that raising the minimum wage standard in Shenzhen is a key factor in increasing the actual purchasing power of workers.

Shenzhen enters the era of high cost?

"The lowest wage workers in our factory are more than 3000 yuan, and the wages of workers have already exceeded 1500 yuan." Reporter recently investigated Shenzhen clothing Workers in furniture, clocks, gold and jewellery have found that most factory workers earn more than 3000 yuan, leaving only a few apprentices and low skilled workers earning less than 3000 yuan.

"The furniture factory has the highest wages, the master and the master of the carving. The monthly salary is 10 thousand yuan or more, and the carving master is in accordance with the record. When the factory is in good business, it reaches twenty thousand or thirty thousand yuan and the difference is six thousand or seven thousand yuan." Yesterday, a sales of fumen wood introduced in an interview with reporters that the general wage of Shenzhen furniture industry is higher than 1500 yuan per month.

Gao master is a clay worker with 30 years of experience. His daily wage is 250 yuan, plus some temporary works, and he gets ten thousand yuan a month. It is understood that this is the decoration of Shenzhen. market The general price of technical workers in China.

In the face of wage adjustment, worries are the heads of enterprises. A boss gave the reporter an account: at present, more than 1000 workers in the factory generally pay 2500 yuan / month, and do not need to increase their wages for the time being. However, the five risk one gold payment paid by the workers in accordance with the minimum wage standard is increased from 1320 yuan / month to 1500 yuan / month. It is estimated that each person will increase by 80 yuan / month, and 1000 enterprises will spend more than 80 thousand yuan per month. The boss predicted that when the Shenzhen labor force entered the "high salary" era, enterprises in Shenzhen will also enter the era of high cost.

Companies are most worried about recruiting difficulties after the Spring Festival.

When investigating the improvement of Shenzhen's wage standards, the reporters generally believed that this is the case of Shenzhen's early prevention and response to "recruitment difficulties" after the Spring Festival. But the current situation is: before the Spring Festival, factories have already seen recruitment difficulties.

A small factory in Xili has 180 people at the beginning of last year, so far the number of workers has been reduced to 110, and the factory is expected to lose 20 workers after the Spring Festival. "A serious shortage of start-up capacity seriously affects the delivery schedule of the factory, and many of them are afraid to answer it." The boss told reporters. Reporter survey to know whether it will be difficult to recruit workers after the year is a difficult problem many bosses are thinking about. Some enterprises have taken advance measures such as raising wages, improving welfare, and feeling, and retaining workers.

A furniture sales manager told reporters that his monthly salary was about 10 thousand yuan, but the cost of oil and rentals on the road was less than 5000 yuan. Living in Shenzhen is still very stressful. "If the mainland has a monthly wage of 5000 yuan, I will consider going back."

　 CPPCC members talk about raising wages

Shenzhen's "wage increase" has also aroused heated debate among CPPCC members. Yesterday, Zhu Shunhua, member of the CPPCC National Committee, told reporters that raising the wage standard in Shenzhen is critical to increasing the actual purchasing power of workers. If the government can not raise wages and raise the actual purchasing power of workers, raising wage standards is not a good thing. The question of increasing wages should be seen in the longer term. It is only in the context of controlling inflation that it is meaningful to increase wages; if inflation continues to rise, the wage increase will not be significant.

CPPCC member Dou Zhiming believes that in the current extremely complex international and domestic economic forms, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises is facing great challenges. The rising capital is the market behavior. After the government raises the wage standard, it sends a signal: the wages of Shenzhen workers will continue to rise, which will also bring pressure to the survival of enterprises. In actual research, Dou Zhiming found that small and medium enterprises are limited by conditions, have weak perception of domestic and foreign economic fluctuations, and are weak in research ability. They are very limited in understanding, forecasting and judging the environment of survival and development. He suggested that the government should help enterprises understand the economic development situation and avoid operational risks.

"Transformation, transformation and quickening transformation." In an interview, Zhu Shunhua thought that enterprises should not just focus on the rising wages. "Compared to the situation of high economic unemployment and high unemployment in Europe, the difficulties faced by SMEs in Shenzhen will not be more serious than that." Zhu Shunhua admitted that raising wages is a fait accompli. It is the key for enterprises to take a long-term view and think about how to transform. He believes that in the future, only high growth enterprises that can afford Shenzhen's high cost, innovation and transformation will be able to take root in Shenzhen.

The improvement of minimum wage standard has a greater impact on production enterprises.

Enterprises improve management and digestion cost pressure

The minimum wage has been raised to 1500 yuan per month, and the new standard has been implemented since February 1st. For enterprises, can we raise the minimum wage and stabilize the cost? What way can we digest the cost pressure?

The pressure on service industry and manufacturing industry is greater.

TCL Human Resources Department official said, the basic salary of the company's employees is higher than the minimum wage standard in Shenzhen, but the rise in the minimum wage will bring rise in other costs such as overtime pay and so on, so it will increase the cost to enterprises, but enterprises can digest through other channels. Southern China City Human Resources Department Liao Yingmei told reporters: "it has an impact on our enterprises, but the impact is not particularly large, because most of our employees are paid higher than the rate of increase. However, the impact on production enterprises is relatively large. Workers, security guards, waiters and so on will be affected by the minimum wage standard.

For the shortage of service industries and manufacturing enterprises, raising the minimum wage pressure will make them more stressed. Ms. Chen is the head of human resources in a restaurant of Zhejiang cuisine. She said: "the more workers are short of work, the more work they need to work overtime, and the increase of the minimum wage standard leads to the improvement of the base of overtime pay, which makes the work cost rise even higher, and the pressure on the enterprises with more general employment is greater." In addition, after raising the minimum wage standard, almost all employees will ask enterprises to adjust wages accordingly, and the labor cost of enterprises will definitely increase. In terms of service industry, general salary increases will be held at the end of each year to retain staff. "Ordinary employees increase wages, middle and high levels will also rise, the overall cost increases, the cost of manpower will be much higher." {page_break}

　 The minimum wage standard has increased the labor cost of enterprises.

Insiders believe that the minimum wage standard is a "double-edged sword". On the one hand, workers hope the higher the wages, the better, but if too much improvement is made in the short term, it will also bring heavy burden to the enterprises. If the cost of labor accounts for 1/3 of the cost of the enterprise and the minimum wage is increased by 10%, the labor cost of the enterprise will have to be raised by at least 3%. At the same time, considering the payment of social security and other expenses, the employment cost of the enterprise is expected to increase by 5%. In general, the profit margins of manufacturing enterprises rarely exceed 10%. If the minimum wage standards are raised a lot at a time, enterprises will not be able to afford them.

　 Enterprises multichannel digestion cost pressure

How to increase the minimum wage and stabilize the work? How can enterprises digest the cost pressure? Wei Keyu, manager of Human Resources Department of Shenzhen Lehman optoelectronic Polytron Technologies Inc, said that the company currently has seven or eight hundred workers, and there will be a shortage of general practitioners before and after the Spring Festival. For this reason, the company keeps more employees by rewarding one month's salary and new red envelopes. Nevertheless, there are still 100 general workers' shortfalls after the year. He said: "in order to cope with rising costs, the company's financial budget this year is more detailed than previous years, saving a little bit." Liu Huanming, general manager of the human resources department of Byd Co, said: "the employees' benefits will be improved and their work enthusiasm will be improved. Enterprises can reduce costs more from other aspects." Some enterprises believe that if they can "stabilize work", enterprises should also work hard in improving management and working environment. Yang Xue, senior recruitment manager of Limited by Share Ltd, said: "for job seekers, they will not only look at the wage level, but also see whether there is a good platform for development and development prospects."

Qiu Hongwei, director of overseas marketing department of Shenzhen Digital Technology Co., Ltd., said: "we are prepared to adjust the minimum wage standard as an opportunity to increase the manpower cost budget and attract competitive industrial workers."
