SINGAPORE: Cleaners in some sectors can expect to take home a bigger pay packet and enjoy higher starting basic salaries of between S$1,000 and S$1,200, as part of efforts to raise productivity through the Progressive Wage Model (PWM).

The Tripartite Cluster for Cleaners (TCC) is pushing for the PWM to attract more cleaners to help ease the shortage of workers in the sector.

These changes, TCC said, should apply to local cleaners in three sub-sectors -- office and commercial buildings, food and beverage establishments, and conservancies.

For a start, it wants to help about 10,000 cleaners in these sub-sectors earn a higher entry-level basic wage of between S$1,000 and S$1,200.

There are about 46,000 local cleaners in these three sub-sectors.

They make up more than half of the near 70,000 local and foreign cleaners in the industry here.

Currently, cleaners in these positions earn between S$675 and S$950.

The cluster is also pushing for a 'wage ladder' -- to give more "wage points" to cleaners who pick up new and better skills, or take on higher responsibilities.

The recommendations are part of the drive for a PWM, where workers gradually earn more through skills upgrading and structured career advancement.

They also aim to help raise productivity through technology and the re-designing of processes.

The TCC, which has representatives from the Ministry of Manpower and National Environment Agency, as well as unions and service providers, considered several factors.

These include what the cleaners' wages would have been if they had kept pace with productivity growth, the nature and working conditions in various cleaning jobs, as well as inputs from those in the cleaning industry....

Thanky again PAP.

They can just make the cleaners clean more blocks with the pay adjustments.

Not much finanical difference to the contractor. If do it right, they may save some money too as less cleaners are employed.

Wait till u get your utility bill. The increase in pay has to come from somewhere right?

I'm saying they don't deserve it because cleaners are a dime-a-dozen.

very soon, those elderly folks will be replaced. they simply cannot cope with the increase in the amount of work! they will resign despite the pay increase. many of them look very sick - quite a pathetic sight for diners. you will lose your appetite if you see one unhappy uncle or auntie clearing your table...very depressing.

 

[erection2015]

i agree bang....i lunch out often cos kids all grown up and not in until late at night...and i see the old aunties/uncles exactly as you describe.

Cant flog them for much longer.

HDB Cleaners are given additional duties. Now they have to cover duties previously done by contract gardeners: raking and sweeping of dead leaves from the gardens; collection and moving of bulk items left around the void decks, common corridors, etc;

This is a pipe dream.

 

[wMulew]

As usual the retarded moron brigade complain out of their collective ass.

Import FT complain, demand increase productivity

Simplistic definition of Increase productivity = do more work with same resource

Now up pay of cleaners to push them to increase productivity, come up with all sorts of cock and bull story to slam the government initiative.

So do U want FT or do U want to increase productivity U dumb fucks

I don't mind but provided every dollar increased goes into the cleaners' pocket. Not a dollar in but only 5 cents go into their salary.:oIo:
