INTERACTIVE: Will Malaysian salaries rise under a progressive wage model?


- AZHAR MAHFOF/The Star.

PETALING JAYA: Workers can earn higher salaries through upskilling under a Progressive Wage Model (PWM), but their productivity growth should be higher than the increase in wages, says the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).

Commenting on the PWM which the government is proposing, MEF president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said workers who acquire certified skills and improve their job performance and productivity will be eligible for higher wages.
