In most cases, countries follow a nation-wide minimum wage, that is, all workers in the country, no matter the region they are in, have the right to the same minimum wage.

Levels of minimum wage are currently regulated and monitored by Government Resolution No.78/2015, which guarantees annual increases in the minimum rate, taking into account inflation and GDP rates. Then, following this data, each province and district will determine the minimum wage in their respective area.

7 hours per day and 40 hours per week for 6 days of work per week;
8 hours per day and 40 hours per week for 5 days of work per week.
