The minimum wage in the Azores is always 5% higher than in Mainland Portugal, as provided by the article 3 of Regional Legislative Decree n\u00ba 8 \/2015\/A of March 30, 2015<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n \n With regard to the Autonomous Region of Madeira, it has already been agreed that the new value of the RMMG will be set at \u20ac615.00 in 2019.
