What is Salário mínimo (RMMG)?
The RMMG (Retribuição Mínima Mensal Garantida, the guaranteed minimum monthly wage) is the lowest amount an employer can pay for full-time work. It is set by the Government and reviewed annually.
It applies over 14 months (12 salaries plus the holiday and Christmas subsidies). No full-time worker may receive less than this amount.
In practice
The employer checks every year that the base pay of each full-time worker meets the RMMG in force.
