Enterprises can establish a basic wage system based on post wages, which mainly combines post wages with benefit wages, gradually incorporates various labor incomes into wage distribution, and incorporates most of the subsidies and allowances in total wages into post wage assessments. Reduce the proportion of fixed wage income to post wage income, and implement a post benefit structure wage system that is dominated by post wages, supplemented by annual average wages, post allowance wages, and reward wages.
