Order scope and enforceable remuneration
This order applies to citizen/PR materials-recovery employees of General Waste Disposal Facility licensees. It separates the monthly gross wage excluding overtime from the specified hourly OT rate, and contains annual PWM bonus eligibility, pro-rating and payment rules.
Wages and annual PWM bonus
Gross wage includes basic pay, allowances for travel, food or housing, and productivity incentives; it excludes bonuses including AWS, stock options, special-expense reimbursements, payments in kind and employer CPF. Full-time tables cover 35–44 hours a week and exclude overtime. Collection captains have market-determined wages. Eligible workers receive an annual PWM bonus of at least one month’s basic wage. Part-time wages and bonus are pro-rated. The official page notes a 2025 schedule review.

Bonus eligibility, excluded payments and timing
Eligible employees are citizens/PRs, full-time or part-time, normally with 12 months to the same employer. Paid and statutory leave counts towards service; absence without leave does not. Part-time employment is continuous from the first day unless expressly ended. Retirement and medical boarding-out qualify for pro-rating; voluntary resignation and misconduct termination do not require a fresh bonus payment.
CPF-attracting performance, retention, AWS, festive or comparable variable bonuses can count. Basic wage, overtime, expense reimbursements and regular allowances/incentives do not. Record payment in payslips and apply both employer and employee CPF rules.
Pay once or twice per calendar year, within one month of the calculation cut-off or the last employment day, whichever is earlier. The first implementation year is pro-rated from January 2024; the order illustrates an October cut-off as ten months out of twelve. Settle outstanding eligible amounts at employment cessation; apply the annex formulas for part-time and other pro-rated cases.
