SINGAPORE is looking to recognise companies that voluntarily adopt the progressive wage model (PWM) in sectors where it is not currently compulsory, such as food services and retail trade, Manpower Minister Josephine Teo said.

Companies that voluntarily pay progressive wages and provide job progression pathways to their lower-income workers will be recognised with a PWM Mark, Mrs Teo said in Parliament at the debate on Motion of Thanks to the President on Tuesday.
