Original Food Services PWM Report (2023): Coverage, Launch and Wage Tables
Historical document: dated proposals, examples and limits are identified in the sections below.
Document period and use
This article explains the 2023 document. Its original dates, wage figures and examples are retained as historical context; later orders and wage schedules take precedence for subsequent payroll periods.
Launch and career ladder
The February 2023 report introduces PWM from 1 March 2023, with a six-month run-in period at launch. It separates Category A quick-service establishments from Category B full-service, caterers and central kitchens. Senior cooks and managers are market-determined while the specified entry/intermediate rungs have mandatory gross-wage floors.
Training and original wage path
Two relevant endorsed WSQ modules or recognised qualifications connect jobs to skills. The original schedule provides S$165 annual increases for the specified roles in March 2024 and March 2025. It contains monthly, hourly and overtime requirements, including the tables below; the March 2026 review sets later periods rather than retrospectively changing these launch figures.
