    IF WAGES have to be cut at all because company bottom lines have been hit by the virus outbreak, the National Wages Council (NWC) recommends that the cut be made in the Monthly Variable Component (MVC).

    The MVC, which is part of workers' basic monthly wage, should only be that emergency lever employers use to lower their wage bill in sudden business downturns, in order to survive and to save jobs.
