The minimum wage is a system that guarantees a minimum salary (the minimum wage) to all workers regardless of their age and employment type, including students with a side job and those engaged in part-time work. Employers are required to pay their workers the difference between their current salary and the minimum wage in cases where these workers are currently paid less than the minimum wage. Even in cases where an employer and a worker have agreed on a salary that is lower than the minimum wage, this salary will be considered invalid under the Minimum Wage Act, and the employer will be deemed to have stipulated a salary equivalent to the minimum wage. Fines will also be imposed on employers who fail to pay salaries at or above the local minimum wage. The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's special website on the minimum wage system
