Previously, UMP was referred as level 1 region minimum wage (“UMR Tk I”). Then, through Minister of Manpower Decree No. Kep-226/Men/2000 on Amendment of Article 1, Article 3, Article 4, Article 8, Article 11, Article 20 and Article 21 of Minister of Manpower Regulation No. Per-01/MEN/1999 on Minimum Wage in Article 1 point 1, UMR Tk I was changed to UMP.
