Subsection 1: Fixing procedures.

To determine an employee’s guaranteed minimum monthly pay, the number of hours corresponding to the contractual working time for the month in question in the company employing the employee is taken into account. The hours corresponding to statutory public holidays are included in this number.

Where a monthly wage agreement or contract, or a part-time employment contract, provides for the payment of wages on a uniform monthly basis, between twenty hours and the legal working time, the minimum monthly remuneration is equal to the product of the amount of the minimum growth wage multiplied by the number of hours set by this monthly wage agreement or contract, or by this employment contract.

Where an agreement, a collective labour agreement or an annualised part-time employment contract provides that the monthly remuneration of employees is independent of the actual working hours, the minimum monthly remuneration applicable to the employees concerned is equal to the minimum growth wage multiplied by the average monthly number of hours set by this agreement or contract.
