d) Employers operating in an area newly established from one or multiple areas with different minimum wage levels shall apply the minimum wage according to the area with the highest minimum wage until the Government issues new regulations.

Article 4. Application of the minimum wage

1. The monthly minimum wage is the lowest wage used as a basis for negotiating and paying wages for employees paid on a monthly basis, ensuring that the wage according to the job or position of the employee who works the full normal working hours in the month and completes the agreed labor or work quota is not lower than the monthly minimum wage.

2. The hourly minimum wage is the lowest wage used as a basis for negotiating and paying wages for employees paid on an hourly basis, ensuring that the wage according to the job or position of the employee who works for one hour and completes the agreed labor or work quota is not lower than the hourly minimum wage.

3. For employees who are paid on a weekly, daily, piece-rate, or contract salary basis, the salary under these payment methods, when converted to a monthly or hourly rate, must not be lower than the monthly minimum wage or the hourly minimum wage. The salary converted to a monthly or hourly basis is based on normal working hours as determined by the employer in accordance with labor law regulations, as follows:

a) The salary converted to a monthly rate is calculated by multiplying the weekly wage by 52 weeks and then dividing by 12 months; or multiplying the daily wage by the normal number of working days in a month; or the piece-rate or contract salary performed during normal working hours in the month.

b) The hourly wage converted is equal to the weekly or daily wage divided by the normal working hours in a week or in a day; or the piece-rate wage, contract-based wage divided by the working hours during normal working time to produce products or perform contracted tasks.

Article 5. Effectiveness and enforcement responsibility

4. The employer is responsible for reviewing the agreements in the labor contract, the collective labor agreement, and the employer's regulations and rules to adjust and supplement them accordingly; they must not eliminate or reduce wage regimes for overtime work, night work, in-kind allowances, and other regimes as prescribed by labor law. For the contents that have been agreed upon and committed in the labor contract, collective labor agreement, or other lawful agreements that are more favorable to the employee (such as the salary regime for employees performing jobs or positions requiring higher education or vocational training, at least 7% higher than the minimum wage, and the salary regime for employees performing jobs or positions with heavy, hazardous, or dangerous working conditions, at least 5% higher); Jobs or positions with particularly heavy, toxic, or dangerous working conditions are paid at least 7% higher than the salary for jobs or positions of equivalent complexity, working under normal working conditions) compared to the regulations in this Decree, then they shall continue to be implemented, except in cases where the parties have other agreements.

5. In cases where, due to adjustments of the applicable area, the minimum wage associated with the area in the Appendix attached to this Decree is lower than the minimum wage stipulated by the Government as of December 31, 2025, the employer must continue to implement the minimum wage as of December 31, 2025 for employees recruited on or before December 31, 2025 until the Government issues new regulations.
