The Government has accepted the 3 strategies recommended by the Tripartite Workgroup studying how to uplift lower-wage workers:
1. Extend Progressive Wages to many more LWWs
2. Require companies hiring foreign workers to pay all their local employees at least a Local Qualifying Salary
3. Accredit all companies that pay all their workers Progressive Wages with a PW Mark
The extended Progressive Wages plus tighter Local Qualifying Salary will cover 8 in 10 lower wage workers. If Workfare enhancements are included, almost all lower-wage workers can look forward to higher incomes within the next two years.
