Committees to look into Progressive Wage Model for food services and retail sectors: Zaqy

Singapore

TWO tripartite cluster committees for the food services and retail sectors have been formed to look into implementing the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) for these sectors over the next two to three years, Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad said.

This follows an agreement by the Tripartite Workgroup on Lower-Wage Workers, chaired by Mr Zaqy, to extend the PWM to the two sectors, which could cover up to 80,000 local workers.
