Will minimum wage laws work here?

[TKR1992]

Explain to me how minimum wage will make the pie bigger, cause it sounds to me like only redistributing the pie, ie zero sum game.

jamus is completely wrong on minimum wage

so fast show his true colors alr.

minimum wage is not to give the lower paid employees more money or higher salaries, but to ensure that they are a paid a fair wage

this is recognized by everyone who is talking for or against minimum wage.

the PAP has talked and discussed minimum wages before in parliament and even the newspapers has discussed about it before.

but there has NEVER been any discussion about, if the "cost" of increasing wages should be transferred to the consumer, or anyone besides the employer - simply because it should never be a question about WHO TO TRANSFER THE COST TO

what minimum wage does is to make it illegal to pay your employees a wage that does not allow them to live properly

this is why minimum wage is called minimum wage. it is the lowest amount that an employee can pay their workers.

dun come talk about "increasing costs" simply because if you are paying your employees minimum or above minimum wage, your costs would not have increased at all!

if you are paying your employees below minimum wage, then YOU need to pay your employees more.

even the PAP is able to recognise this and they themselves have stated that singapore does not have minimum wage because it would be set so low that it would be make setting a minimum redundant!

No. I know my ex company is still paying prc workers 700 a month. And they are still able to send money back home.

Everyone one have different opinion.

If this is proposed by pappies. Their pets will claimed is good

 

[kcarrey]

minimum wage is to force BAD bosses to pay fair wages to workers

 

[trento]

But already got sg companies pay only hundreds per month so setting so low already happens. Minimum wage is to prevent that.

So jamus is not wrong.

Instead of relying on minimum wage, that's why gov is encouraging higher education and upgrading.

Y consumers need to tank the increase wages for the workers to allow those bosses to buy big house, cars and even watches?
