This law is enacted to ensure workers have a reasonable minimum wage and to improve living standards and labor-management harmony.

審議會原則上應在每年第三季開會；最低工資審議要有半數以上委員出席才可開會，若無共識，得由出席委員過半數同意作成決議；委員必須親自出席，不得代理。

中央主管機關應在審議會會議結束後30日內，於其網站公開會議資料及紀錄。

中央主管機關應組成研究小組，並由該小組每年四月及審議會開會三十日前提交最低工資相關報告與調整建議。

中央主管機關須在最低工資審議通過後10日內，報請行政院核定，核定後再公告實施。

Approved minimum wage generally takes effect on January 1 of the following year, unless the review committee finds a different effective date necessary and the Executive Yuan approves it.

Before the first minimum wage announcement under this Act, the previously announced basic wage remains effective, and the first minimum wage amount cannot be lower than the last basic wage amount announced under the Labor Standards Act.

Minimum wage supervision and inspection follow the rules for Labor Standards Act supervision and inspection and other related matters.

If an agreed wage is below the minimum wage, the local competent authority must fine the employer or business unit.
