Progressive wage model for security

The Progressive Wage Model (PWM) for security officers was developed by the Security Tripartite Cluster (STC). It features:

  • Training requirements to ensure that workers have the skills they need to carry out their jobs.
  • Progressive wages set at each level. This ensures that workers are paid wages that correspond to their skills and productivity.

 

The PWM requirements are mandatory. They cover all Singapore citizens and permanent residents who are employed as security officers in licensed security agencies, or by in-house employers that hire foreign workers.

Monthly Basic Wage Requirements

Full-time outsourced security officers (35-44 hours per week)
