Progressive Wage (PW) Portal

Employees can check their salary and find out if their employers are paying them according to the Progressive Wage Model (PWM) or Local Qualifying Salary (LQS) requirements.

Singapore citizens or permanent residents can use the PW Portal if you are:

• Covered under the PWM, or
• Working in a company that hires foreign employees on a Work Permit, S Pass or Employment Pass.

If you work in these jobs and occupations, you may be covered under the PWM. Find out more about your job roles and entitlements:

• Cleaners
• Security officers
• Landscape maintenance
• Lift and escalator maintenance
• Retail workers (including cashiers)
• Food service workers
• Waste management workers
• Administrators or Drivers

If your company hires foreign employees on a Work Permit, S Pass or Employment Pass, you may be covered by the Local Qualifying Salary (LQS).

• The orange tile titled "Your Salary" shows your salary for the month.
