The labour and wage problems is one of central issues in the contemporary industrial economy. Wagework is the leading provider of tax-advantage consumer directed health, commuter and other employee benefi t. In order to compromise between employee and employer interest, the government set a minimum regional wage. Minimum wage policy in Indonesia is set based an a survey of decent living needs. Hizbut Tahrir is one of Islamic movement that calls to return to the practise of Islam in the all of life sides. Then, Hizbut Tahrir concerns to study of Islamic economy, especially the economy of Islamic state and public fi nance. Hizbut Tahrir has different opinion with other moslem economic about standard wage rates. Standard wage rates – refers Hizbut Tahrir opinions- is only based the work utility of labor. The basic living needs cannot be the standard of wage. The wage rate is prerogative right of employee and employer, described a agreement based the utility of work. This opinion different with mainstream moslem economic. According to maintreams moslem economic, standard of wage not only based work utility of labor, but also based decent living needs.Keyword: Standard, wage, living needs, Islamic economy

This article studies the optimal government policies related to unemployment in a frictional labor market. To achieve the optimal allocation, we find that the government should not issue unemployment compensation or subsidies for hiring costs. Moreover, as both firms and households experience disastrous consequences related to the minimum wage, the government should not intervene in the labor market to influence the wage rate and should not set any minimum wage. What the government can do is to make appropriate expenditures on matching efficacy. Furthermore, considering heterogeneous labor abilities in the model does not change our main finding.

New Material

Economists have long thought that an increase in minimum wage rates would lead to higher unemployment of unskilled workers. The higher minimum rates would cause employers to substitute other classes of labour or capital for unskilled labour and to contract output. Situations in which an increase in minimum wage rates will not increase unemployment do not seem to be practically relevant. The results of Card and Krueger have reopened this question. In their major study a survey of fast food outlets suggested that an increase in the minimum wage rate actually increased employment. Unfortunately, closer inspection of their results has not justified the attention paid to their study. The quality of their data is suspect and other data support the traditional view. In addition, the interpretation of their results is very questionable. The new material actually gives economists no reason to revise their traditional view on this subject.

Abstract This paper examines the effects of two enforcement policies and a minimum wage policy in controlling illegal immigration and improving welfare when capital is immobile. The model highlights the importance of the role of risk preference by considering various attitudes to risk held by illegal immigrants and host firms. It is shown that the effect of internal enforcement on the wage rate in host firms depends on the attitude to risk of illegal immigrants and host firms. It is also shown that the impacts of the minimum wage legislation differ according to risk preference and the degree of labor employment elasticity to the source wage. Moreover, attitude to risk is shown to be important in determining the effectiveness of policies on welfare.

Hotel Managers

Purpose This paper aims to explore the human resource (HR) challenges faced by hotel managers in Langkawi due to the implementation of the minimum wage order (MWO). Design/methodology/approach This study collected qualitative data from 18 managers and two owners from 19 hotels of various sizes and levels of service, including budget and boutique resorts on Langkawi Island, Malaysia. A semi-structured interview was used to ask the question “What are the challenges faced by hotel managers due to the implementation of an MWO?” Findings The challenges faced by the managers are: low employee productivity levels, many employees with a salary below the minimum wage rate, difficulty paying staff because of low revenue and conflicting laws and guidelines relating to the issues related to the service charge. Research limitations/implications This study provides an initial qualitative exploration of an important current legal development bearing on hotel managers in Malaysia. It provides some initial findings from Langkawi, but the findings may not represent the attitudes of hotel managers in other parts of Malaysia. Practical implications This study contributes to HR management literature by providing an insight into challenges faced by hotel managers in a developing country. To the managers, the MWO guideline is a serious challenge, as some of their employees are not productive enough to be paid at the minimum wage rate. To address the increasing labour cost, some have turned to the employment of foreign workers, whereas others have increased their casual employee numbers. These insights may serve to guide policy-makers and hotel managers in other developing countries that are planning to introduce an MWO. Social implications For the MWO to be effective, it is crucial for the government to develop effective guidelines for its implementation and for hotel employees amongst the Langkawi community to increase their level of productivity. Originality/value The Malaysian MWO policy was introduced in 2012. The policy affects employees’ remuneration and provides a challenge in implementation for the Malaysian hotel industry, especially in Langkawi. Although many studies on MWO implementation have focused on unemployment, this study provides the managers’ perspective on the challenges faced due to the implementation of this policy and identifies reasons why the unemployment rate for local workers may increase after the implementation of an MWO.

This paper analyzes the fulfillment of rights for workers in the case in Tangerang (fulfillment of a decent salary). Whereas, one form of the implementation of the mandate of the 1945 Constitution in realizing decent livelihoods, especially for workers, is the minimum wage policy based on Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower which aims to provide protection for workers and their families, this is stated by clear in consideration of letter (d) of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower, namely that the protection of labor is intended to guarantee the basic rights of workers and guarantee equal opportunity and treatment without discrimination on any basis to realize the welfare of workers and their families with still pay attention to the development progress of the business world. The disharmony in employment relations or labor turmoil is mostly caused by wage problems that are felt to be still very low. The low level of wages in Indonesia is caused by the abundant supply of labor, the level of labor skills is very low, and the government has an interest and seeks to create and expand employment opportunities.

Over Time

This research has been motivated by the fact that inter-city variation in prices and hence cost of living has implications for many aspects of development and public policy. This is true for all countries and especially for developing countries like Pakistan where one would expect differences in cost of living to be more pronounced (ceterus paribus) due to a relatively underdeveloped transport network and a lack of development of a national common market. A better understanding of the inter-city variation in prices indicates the extent to which markets within countries are integrated. A monitoring of the inter-city price index over time indicates whether the economy as a whole has become more or less integrated over time i.e. has there has been convergence or divergence within the local economy (which has also been one of the objectives of this research). Secondly, a quantification of inter-city variation in cost of living is essential to understand differentials in real incomes across the country. Such an understanding will yield fairer minimum wage legislation by the government and also wage remuneration packages by employers in both the public and private sectors operating in multiple cities thus leading to better equalisation of real wages across locations. As noted by Haworth and Rasmussen (1973) the pursuit of a uniform wage policy by the U.S. Post Office in the 1970s led to greater wage dissatisfaction among workers and labor strikes in areas where cost of living was relatively higher. Thirdly, allowing for cost of living differentials among cities will lead to better estimates of urban inequality and incidence of poverty. In this context it is particularly important to see if differences in cost of living mitigate or accentuate the difference in the magnitude of poverty between richer and poor jurisdictions. The estimation of cost of living differentials will also lead to much greater understanding of migration patterns within countries and the functioning of regional and interregional markets across the country which are directly related to cost of living, and real wages/incomes. For example, if the same minimum wage legislation is applicable to the whole country, it will lead to migration to those cities where cost of living is relative low and hence the real value of the minimum wages is high (ceterus paribus). This illustrates the important implications that uniform minimum wage legislation and welfare packages across the country have for migration patterns when cost of living differentials are significant.

Minimum Wage (MW) is a policy set by the government as a basis reference at labor market for every company to pay their workers wages. Since workers always have a low bargaining position when dealing with employers in the determination of their wage rates, therefore the MW could becomes the safety net for workers to have "decent living" when he began to enter the world of work. In the case of Indonesia, the formulation of WM is referring to the parameters of Decent Living Needs (DLN) according to the Ministry of Manpower Decree No. 13, the year 2012. There are at least seven components in order to formulate MW within the DLN Framework, namely: (1) food and beverages, (2) clothing/apparel (3) housing, (4) education, (5) health, (6) transportation and (7) recreation and savings. Meanwhile, in Islam, every transaction made must be ensured preserve and achieve maqashid al sharia (sharia objectives): (1) religion/faith, (2) life, (3) intellect, (4) posterity, and (5) property. Using content analysis, the paper indicates that the regulation above is relevant to the conditions and objectives of sharia-based wage system (maqashid sharia). The Decent Living Needs (DLN)-based minimum wage setting which operated in the 60 components meet the basic needs components of the workers for their daily life which includes the needs of education, health, recreation, and saving. Hence, another challenge in relation to the DLN is how to ensure that the purchasing power of labor for their shelter within the existing MW formulation. What kind of shelter that considered as al dharuriyah within the existing MW setting. Therefore, there is a call for synergy between the government and the housing industry that can offer shelter in accordance with the purchasing power of labor with the existing level of MW and feasible within the framework of DLN so that might be considered as social policy elements. =========================================== Formulasi Upah Minimum dalam Perspektif Maqashid Syariah di Indonesia_______________________________________________ Upah Minimum (UM) merupakan kebijakan yang ditetapkan pemerintah sebagai dasar acuan di pasar tenaga kerja bagi setiap perusahaan. Pekerja dihadapkan pada posisi tawar yang rendah ketika berhadapan dengan pengusaha dalam penentuan tingkat upah mereka, oleh karena itu UM bisa menjadi jaring pengaman bagi pekerja untuk memiliki "kehidupan yang layak" ketika ia mulai memasuki dunia kerja. Dalam kasus Indonesia, perumusan UM mengacu pada parameter Kebutuhan Hidup Layak sesuai dengan Keputusan Menteri Tenaga Kerja Nomor 13, tahun 2012. Setidaknya, ada tujuh komponen perumusan MW dalam Kebutuhan Hidup Layak, yaitu: (1) makanan dan minuman, (2) pakaian / pakaian (3) perumahan, (4) pendidikan, (5) kesehatan, (6) transportasi dan (7) rekreasi dan tabungan. Sementara itu, dalam Islam setiap transaksi yang dilakukan harus dipastikan melestarikan dan mencapai maqashid al syariah (tujuan syariah): (1) agama / iman, (2) hidup, (3) kecerdasan, (4) anak cucu, dan (5) properti. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa Keputusan Menteri Tenaga Kerja Nomor 13, tahun 2012 relevan dengan kondisi dan tujuan dari sistem upah berbasis syariah (maqashid syariah). Kebutuhan Hidup Layak berbasis penetapan upah minimum yang beroperasi di 60 komponen, memenuhi kebutuhan komponen dasar para pekerja untuk kehidupan mereka sehari-hari. Kebetuhan tersebut meliputi kebutuhan pendidikan, kesehatan, rekreasi dan tabungan. Tantangan yang harus dihadapi ialah bagaimana memastikan bahwa daya beli tenaga kerja dan jaminan tempat tinggal mereka dalam perumusan UM. Apa jenis hunian yang dianggap sebagai al dharuriyah dalam pengaturan UM yang ada. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan sinergisitas antara pemerintah dan industri perumahan dalam menawarkan perumahan sesuai dengan daya beli tenaga kerja dengan tingkat upah minimum sebagai elemen kebijakan sosial.

The paper emphasizes on the implementation of minimum wage in Malaysia and subsequent increases of the minimum wage to estimate the minimum wage’s effect on the low-skilled foreign workers. High dependency towards the foreign works has been one of the major reasons for the Government to introduce the minimum wage policy in 2012. The study used questionnaire survey and focused on the manufacturing firms in Peninsular Malaysia that are registered with the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers. We have conducted a panel analysis study covering periods of 2008 to 2017 to analyze the effectiveness of the minimum wage policy in reducing the low-skilled foreign workers. The findings suggested that the employers reduced their low-skilled foreign workers to respond to the implementation and the increase in the minimum wage. The higher statutory wages have caused the firms to reduce their less productive workers. Based on the analysis, we suggest that the companies tend to retain and hire more skills and productive workers in order to cope with the increase in the labour cost. Not only reducing the inflow of foreign workers, the minimum wage policy would have a significant impact towards productivity. Forging ahead with the fourth industrial revolution, productive workers are the key instruments for the firms to remain competitive in the industry as well as to accelerate their productivity and profitability.
