Beijing full-time minimum-wage reference, distinct from the CNY 27.7 non-full-time rate.

Reference: the notice explicitly states CNY 14.6/hour and CNY 2,540/month. Employee social-insurance and housing-fund contributions are payable additionally and excluded from this floor, so it is not fully comparable with the gross wage definition elsewhere. The result remains outside the verified gross-wage ranking.
