最低工資制度的比較分析及對台灣制定最低工資法的啟示

Comparative Analysis of Minimum Wage Institution and Its Implications for Minimum Wages Act Formulate in Taiwan

摘要


制定「最低工資法」是當前台灣社會關切的重要勞動政策議題,本文為探討合理可行之最低工資法的制度内涵,從「制度比較分析」的途徑,比較分析各國最低工資制度的制度類型,並分析各國最低工資制度在決策機制、審議程序、調整指標、強制執行機制的制度內涵,藉以省思台灣的基本工資制度在實踐上出現的問題,進而提出台灣制定最低工資法的制度設計原則。研究發現,台灣基本工資制度是屬於「單一最低工資率適用於全國所有勞工-政府是最終決策者」的制度類型,但是實施多年以來,出現了「調整指標的強制效力不足」、「審議程序機制不明確」、「審議結果易被政府否決」、「強制執行機制的實施成效有限」等實踐問題,導致基本工資制度原本應達到「保障低薪勞工最低生活需要」之政策目標的成效有限。研究建議,考量台灣的實際情形,並參照多數國家實施最低工資制度的作法,最低工資立法的制度設計原則應該包括:「勞資政三方參與」的「最低工資委員會」決策機制、「每年定期召開審議會議」、「研究小組檢視提議」與「社會各界提出不同意見」的最低工資調整機制、法制化的最低工資調整指標、有效落實的強制執行機制等。
