LICENSED: 1,001 cleaning bizs with 52,000 cleaners

SINGAPORE: A total of 1,001 cleaning businesses, with a total workforce of 52,000 cleaners, have been licensed since the new cleaning business licensing regime was introduced in April, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Monday (Sep 1).

The Environmental Public Health Amendment Bill came into force in April, which required all general cleaning businesses in Singapore to be licensed by September as part of efforts to raise the productivity and working conditions of the cleaning sector.

According to the NEA, all cleaning businesses that have applied so far have successfully obtained their licences.

NEA’s Director-General for the Environmental Public Health Division, Mr Derek Ho, said: “We are pleased that more than 1,000 cleaning businesses have come onboard and are supportive of the cleaning licensing regime. We believe this will translate to better performing workers and more satisfied service buyers through enhanced service quality and higher standards.”

TRAINING, PROGRESSIVE WAGES FOR CLEANERS

Starting Monday, licensed companies will have to pay resident cleaners wages based on the Progressive Wage Model. More than 26,000 resident cleaners are currently being paid wages under the model, the NEA said. By Sep 1 next year, companies will have to pay progressive wages to all resident cleaners, including those under existing contracts.

About 33,000 cleaners from licensed businesses have also received training, higher than the 50 per cent requirement for the first year under the new licensing regime, the NEA said. To renew their licenses in the subsequent year, companies are required to ensure that all of their cleaners are trained.

The Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) has set aside an additional S$8.9 million over the next two years to keep training costs affordable for cleaning companies, the NEA said. Companies also have the option of flexible and accessible on-site and bite-sized training offered by WDA’s appointed training partners, to help them overcome their operational constraints in sending their employees for training, it added.

these kind of cleaning biz is mainly for RC grasslooters por lumpar cronies. i think licensing is also to protect them. i almost went into cleaning biz early this year, in my pre-licensing phase, i already got some small contracts for hotel cleaning. seems to me all the big cleaning business contracts go to the RC por lumpars. it's not worth doing imho.

The progressive wage model is meant to protect workers. NTUC is pro workers remember? Now cannot say lim swee say never do anything for workers...this is evidence that something is done for our low wage workers.
