Employers must pay wages of not less than the minimum wage amount to whom minimum wages are applicable.
A labor contract between workers to whom minimum wages are applicable and their employer, which provides for wages less than the minimum wage amount is to be invalid with respect to that part. In such cases, the invalid part is deemed to provide for wages equal to the amount of the minimum wages.
The following wages are not to be included in the wages prescribed in the preceding two paragraphs:
wages other than those paid for each period not exceeding one month that are specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare;
一月をこえない期間ごとに支払われる賃金以外の賃金で厚生労働省令で定めるもの
wages other than those paid for normal working hours or working days that are specified by Order of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare;
通常の労働時間又は労働日の賃金以外の賃金で厚生労働省令で定めるもの
If a worker did not work the prescribed working hours or working days for personal reasons or if an employer did not let a worker work the prescribed working hours or working days due to legitimate grounds, the provisions of paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) do not preclude the employer from not paying wages for the hours or days the worker has not worked.
