【勞工法例-最低工資條例"計算最低工資的基本原則"常見問題】僱主是否需要就所有的工作時數向僱員支付工資？是否每小時的工資都要達到法定最低工資水平 (pay wages and meet the SMW rate) ...... ?

​根據《最低工資條例》，僱員於某工資期內的總工作時數（不足一小時亦須計算在內），乘以法定最低工資水平，所得的款額便是該工資期的最低工資。就該工資期而言，僱員須獲支付不少於該款額的工資。

故此，基本原則是僱員在任何工資期的工資，按其在該工資期內的總工作時數以平均計算，不得低於法定最低工資水平，而並非規定僱主要就所有工作時數向僱員支付的工資或每小時的工資都要達到法定最低工資水平。

​According to the Minimum Wage Ordinance, minimum wage for an employee for a wage period is the amount derived by multiplying the total number of hours (including any part of an hour) worked by the employee in the wage period by the SMW rate. The employee should be paid wages of not less than this amount in respect of the wage period.

Hence, the basic principle is that wages payable to an employee in respect of any wage period, when averaged over the total number of hours worked in the wage period, should be no less than the SMW rate. The Ordinance does not prescribe that payment must be accorded for each and every hour worked or wages for each hour must meet the SMW rate.
