Today the problems of labor and wages have been unsolved problems. The root of the problems that occur in workers or workers still lies in the issues of relations and agreements between employers and governments that ultimately impact on the workers. The Government has arranged a solution to solve the problem of injustice towards the labor of one of them through the determination of Minimum Wages as regulated in the Regulation of Minister of Manpower and Transmigration No. 7 of 2013, but the determination of Minimum Wage for workers is considered not to provide justice for laborers because the value of wages earned is comparable with the large role of labor services in realizing the business results of the company concerned. This paper aims to find out how the Islamic view of Minimum Wage is applied in Indonesia and find out whether the Minimum Wage determination has fulfilled the principles of Maslahah and Adl which are at the core of Islamic teachings.

The Government

Law no. 13 of 2003 on Manpower clearly regulates the determination of district minimum wage set by the Governor by taking into account the recommendations of the Wage Council, the Wage Council conducts a market survey to establish the standard of living needs of a person. The Manpower Act states that in the process of establishing a minimum wage the need for negotiations between the wage council, trade unions and employers' organizations. While the Governor looks for the middle line to set the minimum wage. After the issuance of Government Regulation no. 78 Year 2015 on Wages, minimum wage determination is no longer through negotiation, but through minimum wage calculation formula that is with the minimum wage of the current year, inflation and gross domestic income. The author intends to find out about the role of unions after the issuance of Government Regulation no. 78 of 2015 on remuneration, and determination of minimum wage. The author examines this issue using nomative research methods supported by expert interview data. The author analyzes that after the issuance of the Government Regulation on Remuneration of unions has ceased to function in the protection of workers' welfare.

Skill Shortages

In 2005 money wages continued to grow at a moderate rate within Reserve Bank limits with no evidence of generalized wage pressures arising from skill shortages. In June the Australian Industrial Relations Commission raised the Federal Minimum Wage by $17 as part of the Safety Net Adjustment. The second half of the year was dominated by speculation about the consequences for wage determination of the implementation of the WorkChoices bill which was passed by both Houses of Parliament in December.

Household Expenditure Survey

The establishment of a minimum wage, a wage below which no employer can pay able bodied full-time employees, is a common feature in most industrialised societies. In many of these societies the minimum wage is determined by government fiat. In Australia, the prevailing method of minimum wage determination has been by way of industrial tribunals. In their minimum wage role both governments and industrial tribunals need to determine minimum wage criteria as well as mechanisms for operationalising the criteria This paper proposes ‘reasonable living’ needs criteria for minimum wage determination. By analysing the Household Expenditure Survey it also suggests the amount which would constitute a ‘reasonable living’ minimum wage for labourers in Australia.

Work Choices

The Workplace Relations Amendment (Work Choices) Act 2005 changes the architecture of labour market regulation in Australia in a significant way. The focus of this article is on changes to the regulatory framework for minimum wage determination and the rationale for, and likely consequences of, conferring this power on the Australian Fair Pay Commission. Underpinning the Work Choices package is the view that Safety Net wage rises awarded by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission have had negative effects on employment. In this article we establish that the evidence to support this claim is weak, and is being used to engineer a historic shift in the objectives of the Australian wage setting process. We argue that the new legislation will act as a downward drag on the pay and conditions of minimum wage workers and advance an alternative policy approach in which attaining full employment does not require us to abandon the principle of fairness or a decent wage floor.

Abstract A number of recent empirical studies have found no evidence that the minimum wage adversely affects employment. Explanations for such non-negative estimates include new theoretical approaches, empirical identification and data issues. In this paper we examine the robustness of such estimates to concerns about bias arising from the simultaneous determination of employment and the minimum wage. We use a number of novel political variables as instruments to control for this source of endogeneity. We exploit the personal characteristics of the politicians voting on minimum wage bills, their voting behavior and their electoral process. Our main conclusion is that the weak relationship between minimum wages and employment does not appear to be driven by endogeneity.
