    It’s monthly. Very few countries use something else for the time period for minimum wage.

      Looks like you’re right. Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, France and Australia seem to be the only ones after a quick search. I never knew that

        I’m not sure which is a better system. Could you pay someone pennies daily and then give them a bigger paycheck at the end of the month to meet the minimum?

        Or is it effectively the same system in action but with an additional minimum monthly pay?
