Flourishing growth: A win-win mechanism for implementing the progressive wage model must be adhered to by the government, employers and employees in order to succeed, say business groups. — AZMAN GHANI/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Tripartite cooperation between the government, employers and employees is needed to create a win-win mechanism for implementing the progressive wage model (PWM), say groups.

Compared to the minimum wage, the PWM may be an appropriate and feasible substitute wage model to improve the income of low-skilled workers and provide a living wage, said the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM).
