When a minimum wage setting policy is established using the logwage equation to look at the impact of the minimum wage policy. By comparing the coefficients showing the rate of change of the minimum wage on the employee's wages, they were compared to look at the impact of the minimum wage policy in each quantile to study the impact. Of the policy on determining the minimum wage rate against the inequality The equation estimate found that the determination of the minimum wage had the greatest impact on the low-income workers. Affect the employees of the middle income group, followed by and affecting the low-income employees the least. Other variables have both had a significant impact on the low-income employees. And impact greatly on the high income employees The variables that had a significant impact on low-income employees were age, area, municipality and IMR, while variables that had a significant impact on high-income employees were marital status and education level.
