The hourly minimum wage for next year was set at 9,860 won ($7.8), a 2.5 percent increase from this year, the Minimum Wage Commission said, Wednesday, after the conclusion of marathon talks.
내년도 최저임금이 올해보다 2.5% 높은 금액인 시급 9천860원(7.8달러)으로 결정됐다고 최저임금위원회(최임위)가 수요일 장시간 논의 끝에 발표했다.

The new minimum wage translates into a monthly pay of nearly 2.07 million won, up from 2.02 million this year.
월급으로 환산하면 최저임금은 올해 약 202만원에서 내년 207만원에 가깝게 상승한다.

Both labor and business circles criticized the new minimum wage ― the former slammed it for failing to reflect inflation, while the latter claimed the hike will increase the burden of personnel expenses faced by businesses.
노사는 모두 이번 최저임금에 불만을 표출했는데, 전자는 물가 상승률을 반영하지 못했다며 반발했고 후자는 임금 인상으로 기업의 인력 비용 부담이 커질 것이라고 주장했다.

The Minimum Wage Commission reached the decision at its 15th meeting that started Tuesday afternoon and continued through early Wednesday morning.
최임위는 화요일 오후 시작된 15차 전원회의를 통해 결정을 도출했고, 회의는 수요일 이른 아침까지 이어졌다.

The commission was originally composed of 27 members ― nine each representing the public's interest, businesses, and labor, but currently, there are 26 members after the labor representative was arrested in May while holding a demonstration.
최임위는 공익위원(대중의 이익), 사용자위원(경영계), 근로자위원(노동계)이 9명씩 총 27명으로 구성되나, 노동계는 지난 5월 근로자위원이 시위를 벌이다 구속돼 현재 26명이 남아있다.

The decision was made in a vote, as the labor and business sides were sharply divided until the end and failed to reach an agreement through negotiations.
최저임금 결정은 표결에 부쳤는데, 노동계와 경영계 간 마지막까지 갈등이 있어 협상을 통한 합의에 실패했다.

The 9,860 won that was finally proposed by the business side earned 17 votes, while the labor side's 10,000 won recommendation received eight. There was one abstention. The results of the vote showed that most of those representing the public's interest sided with the business side.
경영계에서 마지막으로 제안한 9천860원 안은 17표, 노동계의 1만원 안은 8표를 받았다. 무효(기권)는 1표가 나왔다. 투표 결과, 공익위원들이 사용자위원 안에 사실상 몰표를 던졌다는 점이 드러났다.

What caught the most attention was whether the 2024 minimum wage would surpass 10,000 won for the first time, as the labor side had initially proposed 12,210 won, marking a 26.9 percent year-on-year increase, while the business side had initially suggested a freeze. The final decision fell short of the level desired by labor.
2024년 최저임금이 최초로 ‘1만원'을 돌파할지가 초미의 관심사였다. 노동계는 최초안으로 1만2210원을 제안하며 올해 대비 26.9% 인상을 주장했지만, 경영계는 처음부터 동결을 요구했다. 최종 결정은 노동계가 원하는 수준에 미치지 못했다.

The commission took 110 days to set the new minimum wage, marking the longest period of negotiations since the current wage determination system was introduced in 2007. Previously, the longest period on record was 108 days of negotiations in 2016.
최임위가 이번 최저임금을 결정하는데 110일이 걸렸으며, 2007년 현재의 결정 체계 도입 후 ‘최장 심의 기간'을 기록했다. 이전 기록은 2016년에 있었던 협상 기간 108일이었다.
