Will minimum wage laws work here?

[samloi]

How about maximum wage?

 

[toldyoall]

Ministers say pay min wages got many drawbacks.

Employers will fire rather than to review celeries during downturn.

Set too high = less jobs

 

[megdang]

We definitely need as currently we have many elderly workers that are under paid.

What if there is minimum wage and those elderly got fired because their "services" or "contributions" are not worth the minimum wage?

I feel the minister seems never bargain at all during negotiation.. similar with signing ****..

Everything just sign.. chop.. and receive bonus

Halo, your 20% salary did not get taxed..........During your income assessment, any money deposited into your cpf are relief......Dollar for dollar....So, basically your are been taxed staggeringly for your 80% salary......What's good is that your 20% salary still cam earn up to 3.5% capped at 30k.....

You want to pay your domestic helper minimum wage or not. If your answer is no, that's why.

Minimum wage does not benefit most Singaporeans, it disproportionately benefit the foreigners because most of the low level jobs like cleaners are mostly foreigners. Few Singaporeans will benefit from it that's why the govt see no point in implementing a min wage when the vast majority of middle income Singaporeans will suffer.

So unless you are one of those human rights sjw, most of us don't want min wage. Our govt main concern is the well being of Singaporeans, it's not human rights nor is it the well being of foreigners

I propose maximum wage policy.

Implement min wage for Singaporeans only.

it;s already happening now w/o minimum wage.

That's the dumbest idea of all dumb idea. You don't want to restrict your best and brightest by creating an artificial ceiling where they can just as easily move to other countries and earn more. We'll see a mad exodus of our intelligentsia. SG is doomed if that happens

Sure
Boss fire 2 sinkies to raise to minimal wage to keep 1 sinkie lor
Meanwhile employ even more FT to help that 1 sinkie

 

[SGMale]

Sinkies scare lose job if implement minimum wage. So pay them lesser with maximum wage policy, not more than median salary of 3k plus cpf.

FTs all have minimum wage now at 3.6k.

Put in minimal wage would become 1 people do 9 people job lor
Can fire the other 2 people who was doing 6 people job
No difference wor
You’re just robbing the lower 2 to pay the higher 1

Minimum wage but Woolworths, a supermarket chain in Australia can still underpay to the tune of 300 million.

https://www.smh.com.au/business/com...il-giant-played-hardball-20191101-p536lk.html

This week Woolworths confirmed that Findley’s client was one of three who had alerted it to an underpayment scandal that could affect nearly 6000 of its employees and cost as much as $300 million in back pay.

Maximum wage is Aussie stupid idea
They do it by imposing 49.5% tax on highest bracket
Rendering their talents to become lazy only
