Gov’t to review Progressive Wage Credit Scheme

The scheme provides up to 75% support for wage increases given to eligible lower-wage workers.

The government will review its Progressive Wage Credit Scheme (PWCS) to enhance support for lower-wage workers in 2024, Senior Minister of State for Manpower Zaqy Mohamad announced.

The PWCS provides up to 75% support for wage increases given to eligible workers.

Mohamad said the government will reveal the details of the enhanced scheme in the Budget announcement.

In 2022, the government disbursed $1b of PWCS funding to 70,000 employers, resulting in 345,000 employees receiving wage increases.

The median monthly wage increase supported by PWCS was about $300.

In addition, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has developed a Progressive Wage Portal for lower-wage workers to help them understand the Progressive Wage Model (PWM).

Apart from the PWCS, the government will also review the local qualifying salary for lower-wage workers.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
