What the release reports
Updated Cleaning PWM rules apply from July 2023 to Class 4/5 conservancy truck drivers performing cleaning services. A six-year schedule aligns with waste-management driver wages.
Details and conditions
The role requires the appropriate licence for vehicles above 2,500kg unladen weight. Cleaning businesses must submit compliant progressive-wage plans, pay accordingly and issue detailed payslips. Cleaning wages are basic pay, while waste-management figures use gross wages excluding overtime.
Context and follow-up
Licence breaches can attract up to S$5,000 financial penalties and suspension or revocation. The source provides the amended orders and definitions. Employers should not confuse the narrower cleaning-service role with every driver holding a Class 4/5 licence.
