The result shows that the policy formulation of provincial minimum wage in Sentral Sulawesi has not been through the rigth stages of formulation process, because there are aspects that are not met, namely the aspect of problrm formulation. Non fullfillment of problem formulation aspect is caused by invalid data of living needs which is used as a condition of provincial minimum wage determination by the governer of Central Sulawesi.  Provincial wage council of Central Sulawesi conpires in engineering thr survey data of living needs which weaken the labors/employees in the posisition of formulation process of Provincial minimum wage..  Survey data is only as a formality of normative administration fullfillment, the provincial wage council of Central Sulawesi uses the regulation of minister of labor and transmigration No. 13 of 2012 on components and implementation of living needs achievement only as a formality.  Forecasting, recommendation, monitoring and evaluation stages has been implemented although it is not perfect as stated in the applicable regulation (regulation of the minister of labor and transmigration number 7 of 2013 concerning minimum wage).
