Progressive wage model lacks details, not feasible in current economy


Details are required on the Progressive wage model (PWM) which Economic Minister Rafizi Ramli proposes to implement as employers and businesses remain in the dark on its execution, for example, how the PWM may affect operating costs or how the government would ensure that employee productivity increases.

As the minister plans to table a White Paper on the implementation of the PWM in Parliament by the end of this month, many employers and business groups have expressed their concerns as the PWM’s details have yet to be made public.
