SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Companies which voluntarily pay progressive wages and provide job advancement pathways for lower-income workers will be recognised with a Progressive Wage Model (PWM) Mark, as part of efforts to lift wages for lower-income workers, said Manpower Minister Josephine Teo on Tuesday (Sept 1).
Sectors like food services and retail trade have the potential to come on board, which would expand the implementation of the PWM -- which she described as a "minimum wage plus" -- beyond the three sectors where it is currently mandated: cleaning, security and landscaping.
