The so-called "five insurances and one fund" refers to the collective name of several types of security benefits provided by employers to workers, including pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance and maternity insurance, as well as housing provident fund. According to the Jiangsu Province Minimum Wage Standard Adjustment Policy in 2017, the monthly wages paid by employers to workers exclude overtime wages; special working environments and conditions such as middle shifts, night shifts, high temperatures, low temperatures, underground, toxic and hazardous, etc. The allowances are not included; in addition, the labor welfare benefits stipulated by laws, regulations and the state and the housing provident fund paid by individuals according to the limit shall not be lower than the minimum wage standard.
