Nationwide wage consultations set for next month

The National Wages Council is convening this April to mull over Singapore wage guidelines for 2012 and 2013.

In a release, the NWC said it will consider relevant factors "such as Singapore's economic performance, as well as the global, regional and local economic outlook" and "Singapore's competitiveness, labour market conditions, inflation and productivity" in its deliberations.

"The NWC welcomes views and suggestions from members of the public and relevant stakeholders, as this is an initiative that impacts all salaried employees and businesses in Singapore. Your feedback is valuable and will influence the NWC in its decision making process," it said.

"Members of the public and all stakeholders can send their views to the Secretary of the NWC through the following channels by 13 April 2012," it said further.
