PREFACE
The Report on Wages in Singapore, 2011 is the twenty-sixth edition published by the Manpower Research and Statistics Department of the Ministry of Manpower. This Report presents the main findings of the Survey on Annual Wage Changes, 2011 and the Occupational Wage Survey, 2011. For a more complete picture of income, we have included data on the median gross monthly income from work from the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey, average monthly earnings compiled by the Central Provident Fund Board and starting salaries of graduates from various institutions of higher learning. The National Wages Council (NWC) Wage Guidelines For 2012/2013 is also included in this Report. The Report consists of five parts, totalling 303 pages. Part I highlights the key survey findings on total and basic wage changes, bonuses as well as the basic and gross wages of common occupations. Part II provides explanatory notes on the uses and sources of the various income, earnings and wage measures as well as the methodology, coverage, concepts and definitions used in the surveys. Part III presents statistical tables giving detailed breakdown of occupational wages by gender, age, industry and establishment size. Also included in this section are the gross monthly income from the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey, the average (mean) monthly earnings compiled by the Central Provident Fund Board and the starting salaries of graduates from the various institutions of higher learning. Part IV lists the occupations and industries for which wage data are available. Finally, the NWC Wage Guidelines for the current and the preceding year are included in Part V. We hope this Report will meet the needs of users for comprehensive and up-to-date wage data. The contents and presentation of the Report are reviewed regularly. We welcome readers feedback to help us improve the Report. A Feedback Form page is enclosed at the end of the publication for readers use. We wish to thank the employers who had responded to the surveys as well as the Central Provident Fund Board and the various institutions of higher learning for their contributions to this publication. We are also grateful to those who have offered valuable comments and suggestions to improve the Report.

HIGHLIGHTS
ON ANNUAL WAGE CHANGES, 2011
Annual Wage Changes The tight labour market continued to lift workers wages , despite the slower economic growth in 2011. Total wages (including employer CPF contributions) in the private sector rose by 6.1% in 2011, higher than the growth of 5.7% in 2010. Taking into account the rise in consumer price index (CPI), the increase in real terms was 0.9% in 2011, lower than the gain of 2.9% in 2010. The corresponding figures when adjusted using CPI excluding imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation were 1.9% and 2.4%.
Excluding employer CPF contributions, total wages increased by 5.3%, slightly lower than the gain of 5.5% in 2010. The increase in total wages in 2011 stemmed from a basic wage growth of 4.4% and an increase of 6.9% in bonuses (also known as annual variable component) paid out from 2.17 months of basic wages in 2010 to 2.32 months in 2011. Weighed down by inflation, real total wages rose by 0.1% while real basic wages declined by 0.8%, after increasing by 2.7% and 1.1% respectively in 2010 when inflation was lower. Over the long term, real wage increases have been broadly in line with labour productivity growth. From 2000 to 2011, real total wages (including employer CPF contributions) increased by 1.6% per annum (p.a.) while labour productivity grew by 1.7% p.a.
Wage Restructuring As at December 2011, 86% of employees in the private sector was under some form of 1 flexible wage system. This eased from 89% a year ago, after rising from 85% in 2009. The slight decline was observed across both large establishments and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), possibly reflecting the churn in firms entering and leaving the economy.
Large establishments with at least 200 employees continued to lead, with nine in ten (91%) of their workers having at least one key wage recommendation in their wage system, higher than almost eight in ten (79%) in SMEs. Having a narrow maximum-minimum salary ratio (involving 63% of workforce) remained the most common recommendation adopted by the private sector. This was followed by linking variable bonus to Key Performance Indicators (KPI) (52%) and having the Monthly Variable Component (MVC) (35%) in the wage structure. In 2011, the coverage of workforce with MVC and in establishments that had narrowed/were narrowing the wage ratio were broadly the same as in 2010 (35% and 64% respectively), while the share of employees with variable bonus linked to KPI declined from 57%.
1 Establishments are considered to have some form of flexible wage system when their wage structure incorporates at least one of the following key wage recommendation: i) implement variable bonus linked to Key Performance Indicators (KPI); ii) introduce the Monthly Variable Component (MVC) in wage structure; and iii) narrow the maximum-minimum salary ratio for the majority of their employees to an average of 1.5 or less.
ANNUAL WAGE CHANGES, 2011

1 Introduction
1.1 This report examines the wage changes and extent to which employers have adopted the recommendations of the National Wages Council (NWC) in 2011. The findings are based on data from the Survey on Annual Wage Changes carried out from December 2011 to March 2012 which effectively covered 4,568 private establishments each with at least 10 employees. This yielded a survey response rate of 90%. 2 Background
2.1 Singapores real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 4.9% in 2011, after expanding by 14.8% in 2010 (Chart 1). The consumer price index (CPI) rose by 5.2% in 2011, up significantly from the increase of 2.8% in 2010, but still below the 6.6% in 2008. Excluding imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation (which do not involve actual expenditures), the CPI increase was 4.2% in 2011, also up from 3.3% in 2010 but lower than 5.5% in 2008. 2.2 Despite slower GDP growth, employment creation remained strong in 2011. Total employment increased by 122,600 (or 3.9%) in 2011, slightly higher than the gains of 115,900 (or 3.9%) in 2010. Amid the strong employment creation, the unemployment rate declined to a 14-year low of 2.0% overall, 2.9% for residents and 3.0% for Singapore citizens in 2011.

3 Overview
Wage Changes
Wages rose in 2011, driven by tight labour market 3.1 The tight labour market continued to lift workers wages, despite the slower economic growth in 2011. Total wages (including employer CPF contributions) in the private sector rose by 6.1% in 2011, higher than the growth of 5.7% in 2010 (Chart 2). 3.2 Excluding employer CPF contributions, total wages increased by 5.3% in 2011, after rising by 5.5% in 2010.2 The increase in total wages in 2011 stemmed from a basic wage growth of 4.4% and an increase of 6.9% in bonuses (also known as annual variable component) paid out from 2.17 months of basic wages in 2010 to 2.32 months in 2011.3

Average monthly earnings from CPF records rose by 6.0% in 2011, after increasing by 5.6% in 2010. This source covers both full-time and part-time employees who contribute to the CPF and can be influenced by the changing mix of workers, variations in overtime and wages of new entrants and workers who changed jobs during the year. In contrast, the Survey on Annual Wage Changes, designed to capture change in wage rates paid to workers, covers only full-time employees on the CPF scheme who are in continuous employment for at least one year. This survey is also the only source that provides breakdown of total wage changes into changes in basic wages and bonuses for various categories of employees. 3 Basic wages and bonuses exclude employer CPF contributions.
Weighed down by inflation, real wages rose slightly 3.3 Taking into account the rise in CPI, real total wages rose by 0.1% while real basic wages declined by 0.8% n 2011, after increasing by 2.7% and 1.1% respectively in 2010 when inflation was lower. Including employer CPF contributions, real total wages grew by 0.9% in 2011, lower than the gain of 2.9% in 2010. When adjusted using CPI excluding imputed rentals on owner-occupied accommodation, total wages (including employer CPF contributions) grew in real terms by 1.9% in 2011, after increasing by 2.4% in 2010 (Chart 3).

Growth in real wages were broadly in line with productivity over the long term 3.4 With the slower GDP growth amid continuing strong employment creation, labour productivity rose by 1.0% in 2011, significantly lower than the increase of 11% in 2010, reflecting the volatility in year-to-year change in labour productivity (Chart 4). Over the longer period from 2000 to 2011, labour productivity grew by 1.7% per annum (p.a.) while real total wages (including employer CPF contributions) increased by 1.6% p.a.

Total and Basic Wage Changes
Wage Changes by Type of Employees Wage gain for RAF continue to lag non-RAF, though the gap has narrowed 4.1 Wages rose for all three categories of employees in 2011. Junior and senior management staff experienced higher increases in total wages (6.1% and 5.4% respectively) than the rank-and-file (RAF) employees (4.7%). Compared to the previous year, the gain in total wages were slightly higher for RAF employees, but lower for junior and senior management. Consequently, while the wage gain for RAF continue to lag the non-RAF, the gap has narrowed (Chart 6). Chart 6: Total and Basic Wage Change, 2010 and 2011

Distribution of Establishments by Wage Change More establishments raised wages in 2011 4.2 Amid the tight labour market, the proportion of private establishments that raised total wages of their workers increased to 68% in 2011 from 60% in 2010, though the average quantum of wage increase in these firms at 6.6% was lower than 7.6% in 2010. The proportion that cut wages in 2011 (8.5%) was comparable to 2010 (8.2%), with quantum of wage cut the same at 4.3%. The remaining 23% kept their wages unchanged in 2011, down from 32% in 2010 (Chart 7).

Distribution of Establishments by Profit Status Majority of establishments were profitable, though proportion dipped slightly 4.3 The majority of private establishments were profitable, though the proportion dipped slightly, with the slower economic growth in 2011. 82% of private establishments reported that they were profitable, down slightly from 85% in 2010 (Chart 9). The proportion of profitable establishments was higher than the 79% in 2009 and the low of 65% in 2001 when economic conditions were weaker.

Wage Change by Profit Status Wage changes were correlated with profitability 4.5 The wage changes were correlated with profitability, as many firms have restructured their wage system to tie wages more closely with business performance. The more profitable Category A firms gave the largest total wage increase of 6.3%, followed by Category B firms at 5.6% and Category C at 4.7%. Amid the tight labour market and higher inflation in 2011, even the loss-making Category D gave a modest wage increase of 3.4% (Chart 11).

5.2 All three categories of employees received more bonuses in 2011. The bonus payout was higher for non-RAF (2.63 months or 18.0% of total wages) than RAF (2.06 months or 14.7% of total wages). Typically, the variable component would be higher for management staff as a greater share of their pay package is flexible and tied to performance.

One-off Special Payment to Rank-And-File Employees
6.1 On workers concerns over higher inflation in 2011, the NWC noted that while government measures such as the Growth & Share package helps workers cope with inflation, some companies may wish to further help their workers better cope with the higher cost of living. In this regard, NWC has suggested that companies could consider giving a one-off special lump sum payment to workers. Majority did not give one-off special payment to RAF 6.2 As at December 2011, only a minority (4.1%) of private establishments with RAF employees had given/intended to give a one-off special payment to their RAF employees while 5.1% was still considering whether to give. Close to one in five (19%) reported that they had already taken into account the higher inflation in their built-in wage increment. The remaining 72% did not give and had no plans to give a one-off special payment (Table 2). Large establishments more likely to give one-off special payment 6.3 Large establishments employing 200 or more staff were more likely to give the one-off special payment. 13% of large establishments gave/intended to give the payment, compared with only 3.6% for the smaller establishments. 6.4 Transportation & storage (9.9%) had the highest share of establishments that gave/intended to give a one-off special payment, followed by community, personal & social services (8.2%), administrative & support services (7.8%) and real estate services (7.3%). On the flip side, information & communications (0.9%), construction (1.3%) and professional services (1.7%) had amongst the lowest proportion of establishments that gave one-off special payment to help workers cope with high inflation (Table 2). 6.5 Financial & insurance services (42%), information & communications (41%), professional services (28%) and wholesale & retail trade (22%) had aboveaverage proportion reporting they had already factored in the higher inflation in the built-in wage increment, despite them having below average share that gave one-off special payment. In contrast, construction (11%) and accommodation & food services (12%) had amongst the lowest proportion of establishments that help workers cope with high inflation through built-in wage increment.

The most common practice was to give equally to all their RAF (2.2% of all establishments with RAF employees). Only 0.7% of establishments gave only to RAF earning low wages (Table 3). 5
Low-wage workers generally refer to local employees who earn around $1,500 or less per month on a full-time basis.

Wage Restructuring
7.1 This section of the report updates the progress of establishments in restructuring their wage system to be more flexible and performance based. Data on wage restructuring pertain to private sector establishments each employing at least 25 workers. 7.2 Tripartite partners have been working closely to promote the implementation of flexible wage systems to ensure competitiveness. Specifically, firms are encouraged to implement the following key wage recommendations: (1) implement variable bonus linked to Key Performance Indicators (KPI);6 (2) introduce the Monthly Variable Component (MVC) in wage structure; (3) narrow the maximum-minimum salary ratio for the majority of their employees to average of 1.5 or less.7 Recognising that establishments may require different forms of wage flexibility to meet their specific circumstances, employers may choose to implement only the recommendations that are relevant to them.
In the survey, establishments are considered to have implemented variable bonus linked to KPI, if they have formulated and communicated to their employees, the KPI for the payment of the variable bonus. 7 Establishments can decide on appropriate ratio for different jobs and industries. In the survey, establishments are considered to have implemented this recommendation if they have narrowed the salary ratio to 1.5 or less, decided to/in the process of narrowing the salary ratio or all along have a maximum-minimum ratio at 1.5 or less.

Progress of Key Wage Recommendations
Large majority of employees were under some form of flexible wage system, though proportion eased slightly from 2010 8.1 As at December 2011, 86% of employees in the private sector was under some form of flexible wage system.8 This eased from 89% a year ago, after rising from 85% in 2009. The slight decline was observed across large establishments and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), possibly reflecting the churn in firms entering and leaving the economy (Chart 18). 8.2 Large establishments with at least 200 employees continued to lead, with nine in ten (91%) of their workers having at least one key wage recommendation in their wage system, higher than almost eight in ten (79%) of workers in SMEs. 8.3 One in six (17%) private sector employees were in establishments that had a fully flexible wage system comprising all three key wage recommendations in 2011. Including employees in establishments with two recommendations (30%), some 46% of the private sector employees had wage systems that incorporated at least two wage recommendations, slightly lower than the 49% in 2010 (Chart 18). 8.4 Transportation & storage (93%) and accommodation & food services (91%) had among the highest share of employees with some form of wage flexibility, while construction (76%) had the least (Appendix-Table 2).
Establishments are considered to have some form of flexible wage system when they have at least one key wage recommendation incorporated into their wage structure.

Satisfied Even Though Establishments Did Not Implement Any Key Wage Recommendations With At Least One Key Wage Recommendation
8.7 The remaining establishments that were not satisfied with the flexibility of their wage system but had yet to implement the taskforce recommendations employed only 3.1% of the workforce, down from 3.3% a year ago (Table 7). Many of these establishments that were not satisfied with their wage flexibility reported that they would not be implementing the recommendations of the taskforce (Table 7). They employed only 1.8% of the workforce and were mainly SMEs (77%).

Implementation of Flexible Wage Components
Narrowing maximum-minimum salary ratio and linking variable bonus to KPI were more common than MVC 9.1 Having a narrow maximum-minimum salary ratio (involving 63% of workforce) remained the most common recommendation adopted by the private sector. This was followed by linking variable bonus to KPI (52%) and having MVC (35%) in the wage structure. In 2011, the coverage of workforce with MVC and in establishments that had narrowed/were narrowing the wage ratio were broadly the same as in 2010 (35% and 64% respectively), while the share of employees with variable bonus linked to KPI declined from 57%. 9.2 Large establishments continued to lead in adopting the MVC and variable bonus linked to KPI while SMEs fared better in narrowing the maximum-minimum salary ratio.

Variable Bonus linked to KPI
Large establishments more likely to link variable bonus to KPI 9.3 As at December 2011, three in every ten establishments (30%) had adopted NWCs wage recommendation to formulate and communicate to their employees the KPI for the payment of variable bonus, down from 37% in 2010. The adoption of the NWCs wage recommendation for employers to link variable bonus to KPI was more prevalent in large establishments (57%). 9.4 By employee count, 52% of private sector employees were in establishments that had variable bonus linked to KPI. Financial & insurance services (80%), information & communications (74%) and professional services (70%) had among the highest share of employees with variable bonus linked to KPI. On the other hand, construction (21%), administrative & support services (30%) and real estate services (35%) had significantly below-average proportions (Appendix-Table 3).

9.6 On average, establishments had a maximum-minimum salary ratio of 1.51 for their rank-and-file (RAF) workers, slightly lower than the 1.52 of a year ago (Table 8). The ratio was higher in large establishments (1.55) than the SMEs (1.47). Expectedly, the maximum-minimum salary ratio was lower in establishments that were narrowing or had narrowed the salary range at 1.40 in 2011, same as in the previous year.

9.11 Establishments with MVC typically paid higher-than-average annual variable component (3.18 months of basic wages in 2011) than non-MVC establishments (2.01 months). Combining the annual variable component and MVC (21% and 7.9% of total wages respectively), 29% of total wages were variable in MVC establishments.9 Including non-MVC establishments, the variable share of total wages amongst all private establishments was 21%, comprising an annual variable component of 17% and MVC of 3.5% in 2011.
The tripartite partners recommended a target of 30% comprising 20% in annual variable component and 10% in MVC.

Triggers for MVC Cuts/Restoration 9.12 Companies which had put in place clear and appropriate triggers for MVC cuts and restoration will be able to respond nimbly to business conditions without having to negotiate with workers or unions at every point of a business downturn. As at December 2011, about three in five (61%) employees in MVC establishments had indicators/guidelines in their wage structure for the cut and restoration of MVC, up slightly from 59% in 2010.

Concluding Remarks
11.1 The tight labour market continued to lift workers wages, despite the slower economic growth in 2011. Taking inflation into account, real wages increased slightly in 2011, after growing more significantly during the economic rebound in 2010. Over the long term, real wage increases have been broadly in line with labour productivity growth. 11.2 A large majority of employees in the private sector were under some form of flexible wage system in 2011, though the proportion has eased slightly from the year before. More employees were working in establishments which have narrowed/were narrowing the maximum-minimum salary ratio and have linked variable bonus to KPI than those with MVC.

HIGHLIGHTS
ON OCCUPATIONAL WAGES, 2011
Attesting to the value of knowledge and skills, the median monthly gross wage was the highest for managers at $6,630 in June 2011. This was followed by professionals at $4,632 and associate professionals & technicians who drew a median pay of $3,070. Clerical support workers ($2,097) and service & sales workers ($2,000) were paid less. Among blue-collar occupations, craftsmen & related trades workers ($2,377) and plant & machine operators ($2,015) were paid more than cleaners, labourers & related workers ($1,020). Wages tend to rise with age as workers gain experience. In June 2011, the pace of wage increase with age was more pronounced among managers and professionals. The link between age and wages was less obvious for lower-skilled workers whose wages generally rose more gradually and peaked earlier. In fact, wages of plant & machine operators and cleaners, labourers & related workers were largely flat for younger workers before declining for those in their mid forties onwards. Advancing age typically works against workers in physically demanding manual occupations. Higher value-added industries generally pay better. Specifically, financial services and professional services were among the top three highest-paying industries across many occupational groups in June 2011. In contrast, accommodation & food services and construction were among the lower-paying industries. Like in other countries, females in Singapore typically earn less than males. The gender wage gap was narrower in white-collar occupations, with women in the prime-working age of 35 to 39 earning close to or the same as men in clerical support, professional, associate professional & technician and service & sales occupations. Gender wage differential also varied with age, with the younger cohorts having substantially lower wage differential than those older. With age, females were more likely to take career breaks to care for their family which reduced their work experience and hence pay, relative to men.
OCCUPATIONAL WAGES, 2011

1 Introduction
1.1 This is a report on wages of common occupations in Singapore. It examines wages of different occupations as well as similar occupations across different industries and the impact of age and gender on occupational wages. As the occupational wage data are based on aggregates of similar jobs, they can only serve as a guide for expected wages of individuals, given that no workers and jobs are totally alike 1 and wages are determined by prevailing market conditions. 1.2 The wage data are obtained from the Occupational Wage Survey, 2011 on a representative sample of private sector establishments each with at least 25 employees. The survey was conducted by the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board on behalf of the Ministry of Manpower. The wages captured refer to basic and gross monthly wages (excluding bonuses and profit sharing) of full-time private sector employees who contributed to CPF in the month of June 2011. With a response rate of 91%, the survey covered an effective sample of 3,869 private sector establishments employing some 262,000 CPF contributors on a full-time basis. The survey concepts and methodology are in Part II.
Monthly Basic and Gross Wages
2.1 With a median gross monthly wage of $6,630, managers was the highest paid occupational group in June 2011, lifted by high-earning managing directors/chief executive officers ($16,684) and company directors ($11,495). At the other end were lower-paying managers, including restaurant managers ($2,813) and retail/shop sales managers ($3,240). 2.2 Professionals came in second at $4,632, weighed down by the entry of fresh graduates and the downward bias created by professionals who were promoted to managerial positions and hence no longer classified as professionals. The occupations within this group ranged from the higher-paid university lecturers ($10,918) and lawyers (excluding advocates & solicitors) ($8,400) to psychologists ($3,150) and social work & counselling professionals ($3,160) at the other end. 2.3 The third highest paid were the associate professionals & technicians with a median pay of $3,070. This group spanned a wide range of occupations from the highly-paid trade brokers (including oil & bunker traders) ($12,408) to business development executives ($3,100) who earned around the median for the group and lower-paying pre-primary education teachers ($1,840).
1 For example, some jobs have better working conditions and employment benefits than others and not all workers have the same skills, productivity and innate ability.

2.4 Clerical support workers were typically paid close to the median for the group ($2,097), except for secretaries ($3,250) and clerical supervisors ($2,688). Service & sales workers ($2,000) ranged from the higher-paid chief/executive cooks ($5,038) to the lower-paid hawker/stall holders (prepared food or drinks) ($1,200) and waiters ($1,300). 2.5 Reflecting the wage premium for skills and craftsmanship, craftsmen & related trades workers ($2,377) were paid more than plant & machine operators ($2,015). Cleaners, labourers & related workers ($1,020) were the lowest paid occupational group, though residents employed in specific occupations within the group, e.g. aircraft loaders ($2,315) and godown labourers ($1,748) were paid substantially more than cleaners & helpers in hotels & related establishments ($1,162) and cleaners in offices & other establishments ($815). The top and bottom five occupations ranked by the median gross wage for each occupational group are listed in Appendix 1. 2.6 Besides the median wage, one can look at the range of wages paid to the middle 50% of workers in an occupation, i.e. the wages bound by the 25th and 75th percentile. Reflecting the diversity in the level and scope of responsibilities, managers had the highest 75th to 25th percentile wage ratio of 2.18, with gross wages ranging from $4,620 to $10,079. This was followed by service & sales workers, with a ratio of 2.06. Conversely, clerical support workers had the narrowest ratio of 1.52 (Chart 1). Chart 1:

2.7 In occupations where payment of commissions, allowances (e.g. shift, food, and transport) and overtime formed a sizeable share of the remuneration, there was a significant gap between gross and basic wages. Among service & sales workers, plant & machine operators and craftsmen & related trades workers, the gross wages were about 25 to 40% higher than the basic wages. On the other hand, there was little difference between the basic and gross wages among managers and professionals (Chart 2). Their variable pay usually takes the form of performance bonuses, profit sharing and stock options which are not captured in this survey.

High- and Low-Paying Occupations 2.8 Expectedly, many of the occupations with median gross wages in the top 10% were from the Professionals, Managers, Executives and Technicians (PMET) category. Topping the list were managing directors/chief executive officers ($16,684), trade brokers (including oil & bunker trade) ($12,408) and company directors ($11,495). 2.9 Occupations in the bottom 10% were paid median gross wages ranging from around $750 to $1,800. The better-paying occupations within this group were godown labourers ($1,748), cooks ($1,688), shop sales assistants ($1,607) and security guards ($1,550). Food/drink stall assistants ($900), civil engineering/building construction labourers ($850) and cleaners in offices & other establishments ($815) were paid substantially lower. Details are in Appendix 2.

Gross Wages by Age
3.1 Wages have a tendency to increase with age, as workers gain experience and assume more responsibilities. This is reinforced by the seniority-based wage system in some companies. In June 2011, the pace of wage increase with age was more pronounced among managers and professionals, reflecting the premium on experience and knowledge gained with age (Chart 3). 3.2 The link between age and wages was less obvious for lower-skilled workers whose wages generally rose more gradually and peaked earlier. In fact, wages of plant & machine operators and cleaners, labourers & related workers were largely flat for younger workers before declining for those in their mid forties onwards. Advancing age typically works against workers in physically demanding manual occupations.

Wages by Industry
4.1 This section looks at the median gross wages across industries of workers in four occupational groups namely managers, professionals, associate professionals & technicians and clerical support workers. Comparison of wages in the other occupational groups across industries would not be meaningful as they are typically concentrated in a couple of industries. The analysis focuses on workers in the prime-working age of 35 to 39. 4.2 Higher value-added industries generally pay better. Specifically, financial services and professional services were consistently among the top three highest-paying industries across the four occupational groups (Chart 4). In contrast, accommodation & food services and construction sectors were among the lower-paying industries.

4.3 Managers aged 35 to 39 were paid the highest in financial services ($8,085), around 2.2 times that of managers in accommodation & food services ($3,615), weighed down by lower-paying restaurant managers ($2,904) and hotel operations/lodging services managers ($3,305). Managers in information & communications ($7,859) and professional services ($7,599) were also paid higher than the median for managers in all industries ($6,350). 4.4 Financial services ($6,388), professional services ($5,504) and community, social & personal ($5,262) were also the top-paying industries for professionals, while accommodation & food services ($3,541) and construction ($3,800) professionals were paid substantially below the median for all industries ($4,940). 4.5 Even among clerical support workers, those employed in professional services ($2,600) and financial ($2,338) industries earned around 1.3 to 1.4 times that of their counterparts in the lower-paying construction ($1,819) and accommodation & food services ($1,877).

Wages by Establishment Size
5.1 Studies have shown that large establishments tend to pay higher wages than smaller establishments.2 Some economists have postulated that higher wages may increase staff efficiency and prevent staff shirking and minimize turnover, which is an important consideration for larger establishments given the challenges in managing a large workforce. Indeed, large establishments were observed to pay a wage premium over small establishments across all the broad occupational groups, ranging from 10% to 40% in June 2011 (Chart 5).

Establishment Size Wage Premium = Wage of Large Establishment/Wage of Small Establishment
Various econometric studies have found that firm size affects wages paid (Bulow and Summers, 1986). In particular, small firms pay lower wages for equally productive workers (Brown and Medoff, 1989; Morissette, 1993).

Wages by Gender
6.1 Like in other countries, females in Singapore typically earn less than males. The gender wage gap was narrower in white-collar occupations, with women in the prime-working age of 35 to 39 earning close to or the same as men in clerical support, professional, associate professional & technician and service & sales occupations (Chart 6). The wage differential was considerably wider in blue-collar occupations. This could reflect the different jobs males and females hold within the occupational group. For instance, within the group of plant & machine operators, females tend to concentrate in occupations such as electronic equipment/component assemblers which typically pay less than the male-dominated crane & hoist operators and lorry drivers.

Gender Wage Differential = (1-(Female Median Gross Wage/Male Median Gross Wage)) x100%
6.2 The gender wage gap generally widened with age, with the younger cohorts having substantially lower wage differential than those older. In fact, within the age group of 25 to 29, females earned more than males in five out of eight occupational groups (Chart 7).3 With age, females were more likely to take career breaks to care for their family which reduced their work experience and hence pay, relative to men.
3 Generally, females enter the workforce earlier than males who are required to serve a mandatory 2-year national service, which delayed their entry into the labour market.
55
6.3 Apart from differences in work experience, other factors contributing to the gender wage differential include differences in skills, qualifications and job nature and level. In some cases, the wage differential could also reflect the personal choice of women to take lower-paying jobs to concentrate on their families.

Concluding Remarks
7.1 Knowledge and skilled workers continue to receive a wage premium. Higher value-added industries also generally pay more. This underscores the importance of investing in continual education and training, skills upgrading and productivity improvements to enable workers to secure better wages.

Uses and Sources of Income, Earnings and Wage Data
AND METHODOLOGY
A key indicator of economic well-being is income earned from employment. There are various measures of income, each serving different analytical needs. (1) Gross Monthly Income From Work
For income earned by individuals from employment (comprising employees and the selfemployed), we rely on Gross Monthly Income From Work. Specifically for the income of a typical worker, we look at the median income. This is the income of the worker in the middle of the income spectrum, i.e. half of the employed earned more than this income and half, less. Over time, the growth in median income reflects workers well-being. As the interest is on how income has changed over time, it is more meaningful to focus on the growth of income among those in full-time employment. This will avoid picking up the effects due to changes in composition of full-timers and part-timers in the workforce. Moreover, fulltimers form the bulk of employed residents in Singapore. Statistics on median income level and growth are collected from the comprehensive mid-year Labour Force Survey and are published annually in the Report on Labour Force in Singapore. Key tables are reproduced in the Report on Wages, Part III on Median Gross Monthly Income from Work from the Comprehensive Labour Force Survey.
(2)
Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings
For more frequent data on income of employees, we may refer to Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings (AME). Compiled based on the payroll of Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributors, the data cover full-time and part-time employees who have contributed to the CPF. The data are available quarterly and can be used as a timely rough gauge of average wage movement. However, as the data cover both full-time and part-time employees, AME can be influenced by the changing mix of workers, variations in overtime and wages of new entrants and workers who changed jobs during the year. Hence, the change in AME may not represent the true change in wage rates paid to workers. Statistics on average (mean) monthly earnings are published quarterly in the Labour Market reports. Key tables are found in the Report on Wages, Part III on Average (Mean) Monthly Earnings from the Central Provident Fund Board.
63
(3)
Annual Wage Changes
A better source of data on wage changes is the Survey on Annual Wage Changes which captures annual changes in basic wages, bonuses and total wages of full-time employees on the CPF scheme who are in continuous employment for at least one year. This is the only source that provides breakdown of total wage changes into changes in basic wages and bonuses and for three categories of employees, namely the rank-andfile, junior management and senior management. The wage changes are published annually in the Report on Wages, Part I on Survey Findings on Annual Wage Changes.
(4)
Occupational Wages
If the interest is in wages of common occupations, we refer to the Occupational Wage Survey for the wages of over 300 occupations. Commonly used for salary benchmarking, the occupational wages reported do not include bonuses, which are more closely linked to performance of the individual and establishment, unlike the indicators in (1) to (3). Data on occupational wages pertain to full-time employees and are available in terms of basic and gross wages. The data are published annually in the Report on Wages, Part I on Survey Findings on Occupational Wages and Part III on Occupational Wages from the Occupational Wage Survey.
(5)
Starting Salaries of Graduates from Institutions of Higher Learning
For starting salaries of graduates from local universities, polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education (ITE), we refer to the monthly gross starting salary of their graduating cohorts. Collected through the Graduate Employment Surveys conducted by the various institutions of higher learning, monthly gross starting salary comprises the basic salary, fixed allowances, overtime pay and commissions, but do not include bonuses. The data pertain to graduates in full-time permanent employment, including those on contracts of one year or more. Data on monthly gross starting salary are published annually in the Report on Wages, Part III on Monthly Gross Starting Salary from the Institutions of Higher Learning.

SURVEY COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY

SURVEY ON ANNUAL WAGE CHANGES, 2011
Introduction The Survey on Annual Wage Changes, 2011 was conducted by the Manpower Research and Statistics Department of the Ministry of Manpower under the Statistics Act (Chapter 317). The survey fieldwork was conducted from 19 December 2011 to 2 March 2012.
Objective The survey was conducted to obtain information on the extent of wage changes and wage restructuring in 2011.
Coverage The survey covered private sector establishments with at least 10 employees. It yielded an effective sample of 4,568 private establishments with 1,127,200 employees, which included 297,700 rank-and-file employees, 212,000 junior management staff and 57,800 senior management staff who were in continuous employment of at least 1 year and were in the Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme. The survey response rate was 90%.
Methodology The survey was conducted online, with clarifications made over the phone. Respondents could also return the questionnaires through post, email or fax.
Reference Period The reference period for the survey was from November/December 2010 to November/December 2011.
65
Data Collected The establishments were asked to provide information on the average basic wage change, Annual Wage Supplement (AWS) and variable bonus to employees in 2011. The information collected pertains to full-time employees on the CPF scheme who had been with the establishment for at least one year as at 30 Nov 2011. The establishments were also surveyed on the progress of wage restructuring in terms of whether they had adopted the three key recommendations of the Tripartite Taskforce on Wage Restructuring namely: (i) introduce variable bonus in the wage system that is linked to Key Performance Indicators (KPI) i.e. have formulated, communicated and explained to their employees the KPI for the payment of the variable bonus; (ii) introduce the monthly variable component (MVC) in the wage structure; and (iii) narrow the maximum-minimum ratio for the majority of their employees to an average of 1.5 or less. Other information collected includes the percentage of monthly basic wage set aside to form the monthly variable component, maximum-minimum salary ratio of the most common job among full-time employees and whether establishments gave a one-off special lump sum payment to help their employees cope with higher inflation.
Analysis The first two sections of the report on the extent of wage changes in private sector and one-off special payment for rank-and file employees in 2011 are based on private establishments with at least 10 workers. The subsequent sections of the report on wage restructuring are based on private establishments with at least 25 workers, unless otherwise specified. This is to be comparable with figures for the Inaugural Survey on Wage Restructuring as at June 2004.
Classification The industries of the surveyed firms were classified according to the Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) 2010.
66
Concepts and Definitions Rank-and-File Employees : This includes employees who are in technical, clerical, sales, service, production, transport, cleaning and related positions. They are not employees in managerial or executive positions. This refers to executives and managers who do not hold senior managerial responsibilities. They do not have substantial influence over hiring, firing, promotion, transfer, reward or discipline of employees. This refers to the total basic pay before deduction of the employees CPF contributions and personal income tax. It excludes employers CPF contributions, bonuses, overtime payments, commissions, allowances, other monetary payments and payments-in-kind. This refers to the annual payment usually made at yearend and is commonly known as the 13th month allowance. This refers to the payment given over and above the AWS or 13th month allowance. It includes incentive payments and ang pows, but excludes AWS. The variable bonus is usually linked to company and/or individual performance and may vary from year to year. It may be paid in a lump sum or divided into several payments over the year; in which case the several payments should be added together. This usually consists of 2 components i.e. AWS, and variable bonus. Generally, the annual variable component is linked to companys profitability. This refers to the sum of basic wages and bonuses. Total wages (including employer CPF contributions) refers to the sum of basic wages, bonuses and estimates of employer CPF contributions. This refers to the component of monthly basic wage that can be adjusted expeditiously in response to changing business conditions. It should attract CPF, overtime pay, allowances, etc. The MVC can be built-up through wage increase or hived off from basic wage. Establishments can also implement a cut in basic wages by introducing the cut as a reduction in MVC. This generally refers to local employees who earn around $1,500 or less per month on a full-time basis.

Reliability of Data In a sample survey, inferences about the target population are drawn from the data collected from the sample. Errors due to extension of the conclusions based on one sample to the entire population are known as sampling errors. The sampling error of an estimate is the difference between the estimated value obtained from a sample and the actual value from the population. Factors influencing the sampling error include the sample size, the sample design, method of estimation, the variability of the population and the characteristics studied. The most common measure of the sampling error of an estimate is its standard error, which is a measure of the variation among the estimates derived from all possible samples. An alternative measure is the relative standard error of an estimate which indicates the standard error relative to the magnitude of the estimate. A sample estimate and an estimate of its standard error can be used to construct an interval that will, at specified levels of confidence, include the actual value. About 68, 95 and 99 per cent of estimates from all possible samples will fall within the interval defined by one, two or three standard errors respectively on either side of the estimate. By statistical convention, the confidence level has been set at 95 per cent.

SURVEY COVERAGE AND METHODOLOGY

OCCUPATIONAL WAGE SURVEY, 2011
Introduction The Occupational Wage Survey, 2011 was conducted by the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board, on behalf of the Ministry of Manpower, from July to December 2011. The survey was conducted under Section 76 (1) of the CPF Act (1999 Edition) which empowers the Board to collect and compile statistics relating to employers and employees.
Objective The survey was conducted to obtain wage statistics of common occupations.
Coverage The survey covered only establishments in the private sector. A representative sample of private sector establishments with at least 25 employees, stratified by industry, was surveyed. The effective sample consisted of 3,869 private sector establishments, covering some 262,000 CPF contributors in full-time employment. The survey response rate was 91%.
Methodology The survey was conducted through mail questionnaires. Employers were required to provide information on their employees wages and job titles. Only employees who contributed CPF were covered.
Reference Period The survey reference period was the month of June 2011.
70
Data Collected Data on monthly basic and gross wages were collected. Wages for the daily and hourly rated contributors were converted to their monthly equivalence using appropriate expansion factors. The following types of contributors were excluded for the tabulation of monthly basic and gross wages : Apprentices/Trainees; Temporary workers; Part-time workers; Piece-rated workers; and Workers who worked part month in the month of June 2011
In addition, workers whose pay is based on commission were excluded for the tabulation of monthly basic wage. Wage data by gender and age were obtained by matching the survey data with CPF Boards administrative records.
Classification The occupations of the CPF contributors and the industries of the surveyed establishments were classified according to the Singapore Standard Occupational Classification 2010 and Singapore Standard Industrial Classification 2010 respectively.
Analysis The analysis of the data will be made principally using the median concept to lessen the extreme scores effect. The median is less sensitive to extreme scores than the mean, making it a better measure for highly skewed distributions such as wages which can be skewed by a relatively small number of higher earners at the top end of the distribution.
71
Statistical Notes The following should be noted when using wage data obtained from the survey: Changes in occupational wage levels over time should be interpreted with care. The changes not only reflect wage increases paid to the workers but also the changes in composition within the occupational group. For instance, a large increase in new entrants into a particular occupation may depress the average wage level for that occupation. Data may also fluctuate year to year due to sampling variability. The occupations of the CPF contributors surveyed were based on the job titles provided by their employers. This may result in lower wage data for certain occupations, especially those requiring professional qualifications, when a significant number of contributors without the necessary qualifications (and earning less than their suitably qualified counterparts) were given such professional titles by their employers. The wage data compiled exclude bonuses and profit sharing. The wages for certain occupations, especially those where performance-based bonuses constitute a significant portion of total wage, would be lower than expected. Examples of such occupations are brokers, dealers and senior management staff. The occupational wage data presented are those of full-time employees only. This provides a more meaningful basis for comparison of wages across occupations. Wages are determined by a host of factors, including the scope, responsibilities, requirements and working conditions of the job; as well as the productivity, qualifications, experience and innate ability of the worker. The state of the labour market in terms of demand and supply factors also influences the wages paid. The scope and job responsibilities of CPF contributors classified under the same occupation may vary widely across establishments, especially for occupations like managing directors and the various types of managers.

Concepts and Definitions Establishment : An establishment refers to an economic unit that produces goods or services at a single physical location and engages in one, or predominantly one type of economic activity. Thus, each branch of a multi-branch organisation at a different location is conceptually a different establishment. However, if in practice the required statistics are centrally kept such that it is not possible to obtain separate data for each individual unit or branch, the organisation or enterprise is treated as a single reporting unit and allowed to submit a consolidated return covering all the units or branches. : This refers to an employee who has made CPF contributions for the month of June. : This refers to the basic pay before deduction of employee CPF contributions and personal income tax. It excludes employer CPF contributions, bonuses, overtime payments, commissions, allowances (on shift, food, housing, transport, etc.), other monetary payments and payments-in-kind. : This refers to the sum of the basic wage, overtime payments, commissions, allowances, and other regular cash payments before deduction of employee CPF contributions and personal income tax. However, it excludes employer CPF contributions, bonuses, stock options, other lump sum payments and payments-in-kind. : This refers to the wage level which divides the bottom 25% of wage earners from the rest. : This refers to the wage level at the middle of the income distribution which divides the bottom half of wage earners from the upper half. : This refers to the wage level which divides the top 25% of wage earners from the rest.

Reliability of Data In a sample survey, inferences about the target population are drawn from the data collected from the sample. As such, differences between the published estimate and the value that would have been produced if the entire population had been surveyed can be expected. Factors influencing the magnitude of this difference include the sample size, the sample design, method of estimation, the variability of the population and the characteristics studied. As a general rule, the smaller the sample from which an estimate is derived, the larger we might expect the magnitude of this difference to be. The number of employees covered by the survey for each published occupation has been made available under the column Number Covered. Data users are advised to take this coverage into consideration when exercising judgment on whether the estimate is reliable for their intended purpose.

Source: Graduate Employment Survey conducted by Institute of Technical Education

Notes : 1 Data covered 2 cohorts of graduates who completed their full-time training in December 2010 and March 2011, and were surveyed on their employment status as at July 2011 and October 2011 respectively (i.e. approximately 6 months after completing their final examinations). 2 Fresh graduates refer to those who had completed their studies in 2011 and they are mostly women who were not liable for National Service (NS) after graduation or had already completed their NS. 3 Post-NS graduates refer to male graduates who had completed their studies in 2008 and their full-time NS between April 2010 and March 2011. 4 Number Employed refers to the actual number of employed persons who responded to the survey and indicated they were employed on a full-time permanent basis at the time of survey. 5 Employment rate refers to the proportion of economically active graduates (i.e. graduates who have entered the labour market) who were employed on a full-time permanent basis as at the reference date (i.e. approximately 6 months after completing their final examinations). 6 Full-time permanent employment refers to employment of at least 35 hours a week and where the employment is not temporary. It includes those on contracts of one year or more. 7 Monthly gross starting salary comprises the basic salary, fixed allowances, overtime pay and commissions. Bonuses are excluded. 8 The data are preliminary estimates.

LIST OF OCCUPATIONS AND INDUSTRIES FOR WHICH WAGE DATA ARE PUBLISHED
Publication Criteria Occupations are presented at the most detailed level (i.e. 5-digit level of the Singapore Standard Occupational Classification, SSOC) that is practicable, while maintaining confidentiality of individual information supplied by respondents and maximizing observations obtained from the survey.
However, there are instances when it is not possible for respondents to code occupations at the most detailed level of specificity. When this happens, employees are coded under residual not elsewhere classified (nec) categories. Such residual categories are typically not published since they do not refer to a specific occupation.
In this edition of the Report on Wages, we have published general occupational groupings alongside their more detailed component occupations when a substantial proportion of employees are coded under residual codes. We do this to maximize observations obtained from the survey.
In instances, where employees are coded in not elsewhere classified categories because they perform the functions of more than one specific occupation, only the general occupational grouping is presented. This is because wage data at the most detailed level is less meaningful when multi-skilling is prevalent or when it is not meaningful to distinguish occupations at the detailed level of classification. Occupations are also published at the general occupational grouping without their component occupations when the component occupations are too small for release individually.
List A shows the full listing of occupations for which wage data are published in this report while List B shows the occupations that are published at the more general level and their component occupations. List C shows the full listing of industries for which wage data are published in this report.

NATIONAL WAGES COUNCIL (NWC) GUIDELINES 2012/2013
1 The National Wages Council (NWC) has completed its deliberations on wage and wage-related guidelines for 2012/2013.
Economic Performance and Labour Market in 2011 2 Singapores economy grew 4.9% in 2011, following the expansion of 14.8% in 2010.1 Total employment increased by 122,600, after growing by 115,900 in 2010. Amid the strong employment creation, the unemployment rate fell to its lowest in 14 years, at 2.0% overall and 2.9% for residents in 2011, down from 2.2% overall and 3.1% for residents in 2010.2 3 On the back of the continued Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 5.2% in 2011, higher than 2.8% in 2010. The key contributors included imputed rentals on owner-occupied homes and Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums on cars. However, as most Singaporeans already own their own homes, the imputed rentals component of the CPI did not reflect actual cash expenditures. Excluding imputed rentals, inflation would be lower at 4.2% in 2011. 4 Labour productivity rose by 1.0% in 2011, significantly lower than the 11% increase recorded in 2010. 3 The moderation in productivity gains resulted from the slower GDP growth amid continuing strong employment creation.4 5 Basic wages of employees in the private sector grew by 4.4% in 2011, higher than the increase of 3.9% in 2010. Taking into account bonuses (annual variable component) as well as employer Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions, total wages in the private sector increased by 6.1%, higher than the gain of 5.7% in 2010. 6 Accounting for headline CPI inflation which includes imputed rentals on owner-occupied homes, real basic wages declined by 0.8% while real total wages5 rose by 0.9%. When adjusted using CPI excluding imputed rentals, total wages6 rose by 1.9%, and basic wages by 0.2% in real terms in 2011.

Outlook for 2012
7 The Singapore economy gained some momentum in the first quarter of this year, alongside improvements in global macroeconomic conditions. Overall GDP expanded by 10% on a quarter-on-quarter seasonally adjusted annualised basis in 1Q2012, reversing the 2.5% contraction in the previous quarter. Compared to a year ago, the economy continued to grow by 1.6%.7 Nevertheless, the recovery in the global economy remains fragile and vulnerable to downside risks. Notably, the advanced economies are still sluggish and there has been increased uncertainty surrounding the Eurozones political climate and fiscal outlook. Against these developments, the Singapore economy is forecast to experience modest growth of 1% to 3% in 2012.8 8 The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) forecasts that the 2012 headline CPI inflation will be between 3.5% and 4.5%, driven by higher oil prices, costs of accommodation, COE premiums, as well as business costs.9
NWC Wage Guidelines for 2012/13 Raising Real Wages over the Long Term 9 Over the long term, real wage increases have been broadly in line with productivity growth. From 2000 to 2011, real total wages including employer CPF contributions grew at an annualised rate of 1.6% per annum, slightly lower than that of labour productivity at 1.7% per annum. 10 As productivity improvement is the driver of sustainable real wage increases for our workers, companies and their management teams are strongly urged to lead the drive for productivity, with the support of the unions and workers. To enable our workers to benefit from their share of productivity improvements and at the same time allow our businesses to remain competitive, real wages should increase in line with productivity growth over the long term. 11 The NWC also notes the uncertain business outlook and economic growth forecast of 1% to 3% for 2012, and the continuation of inflationary and cost pressures which will affect both businesses and workers.

MTI, Economic Survey of Singapore, 1Q12. MTI, Economic Survey of Singapore, 1Q12. 9 MAS, Monetary Policy Statement, 13 April 2012.
12 a)
Taking these factors into consideration, the NWC recommends that: companies grant built-in wage increases for 2012/13, taking into account the prevailing labour market conditions, as well as their respective business performance and prospects. companies reward employees through variable wage components where appropriate, in line with the companies performance and workers contribution.
b)
Higher Built-In Wage Increases for the Low-Wage Workers 13 The NWC notes that while workers in general have seen an increase in real incomes over the last 10 years, the income growth of low-wage workers have lagged the rest of the workforce. The NWC is concerned that employees in this group have not kept up with the overall pace of economic upgrading, productivity gains and wage increases. The NWC also notes the ongoing efforts by the Government, union and employer groups to help low-wage workers raise their employability and incomes through various measures including the Workfare Training Support (WTS) Scheme and the Inclusive Growth Programme (IGP). Government transfers such as the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) have also helped to supplement the disposable income and CPF savings of this group. The NWC is supportive of these efforts and recommends further impetus to help this group. 14 To help the low-wage workers, the NWC recommends that companies grant these workers a built-in wage increase in the form of a dollar quantum and a percentage wage increase. This will give the low-wage workers in the company a proportionately higher built-in wage increase. Companies that are doing well may also consider granting these workers an additional one-off lump sum payment, to help them better cope with the cost of living.
At Least $50 Built-In Wage Increases for Those Earning up to $1,000 15 For workers earning a basic monthly salary of up to $1,000, the NWC recommends that the built-in wage increase be at least $50. However, for companies that are doing well, the NWC recommends that they give these workers a larger increase.
Raising Productivity 16 In order to improve productivity, the NWC strongly encourages companies to adopt technology and innovation in their work processes. Management should spearhead the productivity drive within the company and build a culture supportive of innovation at the workplace. 17 Unions and workers should also do their part by supporting new ways of working through harnessing technology and innovation, and by contributing ideas for improvement at their workplace. The NWC encourages companies to tap on various Government assistance schemes, such as the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) and the National Productivity Fund. 18 To complement productivity innovations, the NWC urges both companies and employees to invest in continuous training and skills upgrading. This will ensure that our workforce remains right-skilled and relevant to the changing needs of the industry. It will also keep our workers resilient at all times, particularly during economic difficulties. Companies can tap on the various Continuing Education and Training (CET) initiatives, including the Singapore Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) training programmes as well as the Skills Training for Excellence Programme (STEP) targeted at professionals, managers and executives. 19 As raising productivity requires labour-management cooperation, teamwork and sustained efforts, the NWC strongly encourages companies to share the gains from productivity improvements with workers. 20 Apart from encouraging companies to step up efforts to raise productivity, the NWC also urges the Government and companies to continue to look at ways to reduce non-wage costs so as to lower overall business costs and enhance Singapores competitiveness.
Inclusive Growth for Workers 21 The NWC believes that Singapores economic growth should benefit all Singaporeans and strongly supports the Governments objective of inclusive growth for all workers. Efforts to uplift the lower wage groups should therefore go beyond providing wage assistance, and more importantly be channelled through measures to improve their earning ability in general. In order to achieve this, all stakeholders have a part to play. 22 The NWC notes that that the tripartite partners have released an updated Tripartite Advisory on Best Sourcing Practices in January 2012 to encourage service buyers to outsource responsibly and adopt best practices when doing so. The NWC supports this as outsourcing based not just on price but also quality is one
important way to ensure that low-wage workers can also enjoy the benefits of best sourcing. 23 The NWC encourages companies and workers to tap on the WTS Scheme to help low-wage workers upgrade their skills, so that they can move up into better jobs with higher pay and better career prospects. The NWC also notes positively the total $100 million in funding that the Government will provide for the IGP, which is led by the National Trades Unions Congress (NTUC), to engage companies and help them innovate and share productivity gains with the low-wage earners. 24 The NWC is also concerned about the group of low-wage contract and casual workers who do not receive proper CPF contributions. The NWC notes that the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will be stepping up the enforcement against errant employers in this area. The NWC further urges the tripartite partners to reach out to these workers and their employers to educate them about their rights and obligations under the CPF Act. This will allow low-wage workers to receive CPF contributions and be eligible for Government assistance paid through the CPF, such as WIS.
Enhancing Employability and the Re-employment of Older Workers 25 The NWC notes that the Retirement and Re-employment Act has come into effect in January 2012, and that employers are required to re-employ eligible employees from age 62 to 65. The NWC is pleased to note that this would increase the employment opportunities for older workers and allow them the choice to continue working after retirement. At the same time, employers can have access to a pool of experienced workers from which to tap on for their expertise and experience. The NWC commends the tripartite partners for the efforts made over the last 5 years in preparing for the re-employment legislation. It also urges companies to implement the re-employment legislation in the right spirit to ensure that older workers are remunerated fairly and can continue to contribute to their organisations. 26 The NWC notes that the Government has extended the Special Employment Credit (SEC) to 2016 to encourage employers to hire older Singaporeans, and enhanced it to cover workers aged above 50 earning up to $4,000. This assistance will provide continuing support to employers to employ older workers. The SEC amount granted will more than cover the increase in employer CPF contribution rates10 for the three-quarters of older workers when higher CPF contribution rates for older workers take effect in September 2012.
10
As announced in the 2012 Budget Statement, employer CPF contribution rates for workers aged above 50 to 65 will be revised upwards from September 2012. Specifically, employer CPF contribution rates will increase by 2 percentage points for employees aged above 50 to 55, 1.5 percentage points for employees aged above 55 to 60, and 0.5 percentage points for employees aged above 60 to 65. The employee CPF contribution rates will also be increased by 0.5 percentage points for employees aged above 50 to 60.
Application of NWCs Recommendations 27 June 2013. The NWC recommendations cover the period from 1 July 2012 to 30
28 These recommendations are applicable to all employees management, executives and rank-and-file employees, unionised and non-unionised companies in both public and private sectors. 29 To facilitate wage negotiation, companies should share relevant information on company performance and business prospects with employees and their representatives.
Conclusion 30 The NWC looks forward to the Governments acceptance of its recommendations.

NATIONAL WAGES COUNCIL (NWC) GUIDELINES 2011/2012

Economic and Labour Market Situation 2010 Performance 1. The Singapore economy rebounded strongly to grow by 14.5% in 2010, compared to a contraction of 0.8% in 2009. Total employment increased by 115,900 in 2010, significantly higher than the gains of 37,600 in 2009. Redundancies decreased substantially from 23,430 in 2009 to 9,800 in 2010. With the strong economic recovery, the unemployment rate averaged 2.2% (overall) and 3.1% (resident) in 2010, down significantly from 3.0% (overall) and 4.3% (resident) in 2009. 2. Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 2.8% in 2010, higher than 0.6% in 2009. In particular, CPI started rising in the second half of 2010, ending with a 4.0% increase in the fourth quarter of 2010 due to higher costs of private road transport and accommodation. Excluding these two factors, however, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) Core Inflation measure was at 2.1% in the fourth quarter of 2010, and averaged 1.5% in 2010. 3. Labour productivity improved significantly by 11% in 2010, reversing the decline of 3.4% in 2009 and 7.5% in 2008. This was mainly due to the strong Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the first half of 2010, coming off a low base in 2009. 4. Reflecting the strong economy and tightening labour market, nominal total wages grew by 5.5% in 2010, after contracting by 0.4% in 2009. This was the result of a basic wage gain of 3.9% (compared to 1.3% in 2009) and an increase of 9.0% in bonus payout to 2.17 months in 2010 (compared to 1.99 months in 2009). After adjusting for inflation, real total and basic wages grew by 2.7% and 1.1% respectively. 5. Supported by strong productivity gains in 2010, productivity grew by 2.1% p.a. over the longer period of the last eight years (2002-2010),11 and has outpaced the growth in real total and basic wages of 1.6% p.a. and 1.1% p.a. respectively over the same period (see Annex).
Outlook for 2011 6. The Singapore economy continued to grow at a healthy pace in 1Q2011. Based on advance estimates, the economy expanded by 8.5% in 1Q2011 on a year-onyear basis. With signs that the pace of global (especially in the United States) recovery is on a firmer footing, the economic outlook for the rest of the year remains positive. However, there are some downside risks to growth. These include sovereign debt concerns in the European Union, the evolving Japan nuclear situation, as well as a further spike in oil prices arising from political unrests in the Middle East and North African region. Barring a sharp deterioration in any of these situations, the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) expects GDP growth for 2011 as a whole to be healthy, at between 4% and 6%. As this is above the economys medium-term growth potential of 3% to 5%, the labour market is expected to remain tight and would put upward pressure on wages.
11
To minimise cyclical effects, productivity trends are typically analyzed over a longer period, preferably over the course of a business cycle. The period of 2002-2010 reflects a business cycle since the recovery from the previous 2001 downturn.
7. Consumer prices rose by 5.2% in 1Q2011, mainly due to higher costs of private road transport and accommodation. Global oil and food prices have also increased and are likely to remain high in the near term. Cost of services would also increase and have an impact on CPI inflation. MAS has forecast that CPI inflation in 2011 could come in at the upper half of the 3% to 4% forecast range.12 CPI inflation is expected to stay elevated and will moderate only gradually to around 3% by 4Q2011.13
Higher Total Wage Increases in line with Strong Recovery Raise Productivity for Sustainable Wage Growth 8. The NWC notes the Economic Strategies Committees (ESC) target of improving productivity by 2% to 3% per year on average, which will enable incomes to grow by 30% in real terms over the coming decade. 9. Bearing in mind that built-in wage increases should lag productivity growth to be sustainable, we must therefore strive for continuous productivity improvements. This will ensure that workers can enjoy good wage increases in the long run and be motivated to give their best in their work. In addition, variable bonus payments should reflect the company and individual performances.
Wage Increase Recommendation 10. Given the strong economic performance in 2010 and growth outlook of between 4% to 6% in 2011, NWC recommends that: Companies should grant higher total wage increases (built-in and variable payments) that reflect the strength of the economy and the performance and prospects of the company. Depending on the company situation and taking into account cost competitiveness, companies can make greater use of variable payments to reward workers for their contributions, instead of granting higher built-in wage increases. In their wage negotiations, companies and unions should take into account the increase in employers CPF contribution rate and CPF salary ceiling in September 2011.14
Measures to Help Low Wage Workers 11. To help low wage workers, the NWC recommends that in granting wage increases, companies pay greater attention to this group of workers. For example, companies could include a dollar quantum for built-in wage increases and/or variable payments, so as to better benefit low wage workers.

MAS Core Inflation measure, which excludes costs of accommodation and private road transport, is projected to be lower, at 2% to 3% for 2011 as a whole. 13 MAS Monetary Policy Statement issued on 14 April 2011. 14 From 1 September 2011, employers CPF contribution rate will increase by 0.5% -points. The CPF salary ceiling will also be raised from $4,500 to $5,000 per month.
12. The Council also encourages the tripartite partners to reach out to more low wage workers, including contract and casual workers, to help them contribute to their CPF and be eligible for the Workfare Income Supplement (WIS). Companies and workers are also encouraged to tap on the Workfare Training Support (WTS) scheme to help the workers upgrade their skills, so that they can move up into better jobs with higher pay and better career prospects.
Coping with Inflationary Impact 13. The NWC notes workers concerns over the impact of a higher inflation rate in 2011, especially for low wage workers. In this regard, the Council also notes that the Government has put in place a $3.2 billion Grow & Share Package in Budget 2011 to help workers and households weather the inflationary impact, with the lower- and middleincomes benefiting more. The package includes a one-off Workfare Special Bonus (WSB) for Workfare Income Supplement (WIS) recipients, Growth Dividends, Personal Income Tax Rebate, Child Development Credit, additional Utilities-Save (U-Save) and Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) rebates. 14. The NWC notes that measures by the Government will significantly help workers, especially low wage workers, offset the rise in inflation in 2011. While inflation is not expected to be as high as in 2008, some companies may wish to further help their workers to better cope with the higher cost of living. In this regard, and by mutual agreement between management and the union, companies could consider giving a one-off special lump sum payment.
Raising Productivity 15. To meet the medium-term productivity and GDP growth targets, the NWC strongly urges companies to put greater and sharper focus on raising productivity. This will help to enhance business competitiveness and reduce reliance on low-skilled foreign workers. It would also foster inclusive growth and ensure good and sustainable wage increases for workers. 16. The NWC strongly urges CEOs and their management teams to lead the drive for productivity. Companies should position productivity improvements as one of their top agenda items and develop appropriate strategies and measures, such as: Set up productivity committees or workgroups to look at productivity improvements, and training managers on productivity management and measurements. Actively engage unions/workers in the productivity improvement process so as to gain their support. Equip workers with new and better skills to raise their proficiency and efficiency. Develop clear linkages between productivity gains and remunerations/rewards so that workers would see the benefit of their participation and be motivated to be productive and innovative. Tap on the Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) CEO productivity leadership, management and measurement programme. Tap on the various assistance measures put in place by the Government, such as the enhanced Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) and National Productivity
Fund, as well as the Inclusive Growth Programme (IGP) administered by the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) Employment and Employability Institute (e2i), to enhance operations and to send workers for training and skills upgrading. 17. The NWC also urges the tripartite partners to make concerted efforts to engage companies and unions/workers to promote innovation and enhance productivity. 18. As productivity gains are made and skills improve over time, wages of workers should correspondingly increase to reflect the higher value of the jobs and their contributions. Companies should take the opportunity to make adjustments to the wage structure to better reflect the job value. 19. In this regard, most companies have moved to a flexible and performancebased wage system. However, our wage system still has some seniority-based elements. As at December 2010, some 64% of the workforce had narrowed/were narrowing the wage ratio for the same job to 1.5 or less, up from 59% in 2009. On average, the maximum-minimum salary ratio for rank-and-file employees stands at 1.52, while that for executives and junior managers is higher at 1.62. 20. To further move towards a flexible wage system that is based on the value of the job and contributions of the employee, the NWC recommends companies to continue to work towards further reducing the maximum-minimum salary ratio to below 1.5. This is especially when the job value has been enhanced through productivity and skills improvements. This can be done through adjusting the salary scale in tandem with the higher value of the job, especially the minimum salary of the scale. This move would also minimise the need for wage adjustments for older employees who are reemployed.
Enhancing Employability and Employment Rate of Workers 21. The NWC encourages the tripartite partners to work with companies and unions on initiatives to help workers to be gainfully employed. With a growing economy and demand for workers, companies in need of workers should look at employing and re-employing older workers as well as attracting more women to join the workforce. They can leverage on the various government assistance and schemes, including the ADVANTAGE! scheme, the Special Employment Credit (SEC) for hiring and retaining older low-wage Singaporean workers, and the Flexi-Works! scheme for implementing flexible and part-time work. Companies are also encouraged to tap on the Skills Training for Excellence Programme (STEP) by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) to help PMETs be future-ready through developing broader and deeper skill sets.
Re-employment Readiness 22. In particular, the NWC notes that from 1 January 2012, employers will be required to re-employ workers beyond the minimum retirement age of 62. The NWC endorses the Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees, issued by the tripartite partners in January 2011. 15 The Council notes from the Tripartite Guidelines that where appropriate, companies may make reasonable
15
The Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees are available at http://www.re-employment.sg
adjustments to the employment terms of re-employed employees, including wages and benefits. 23. The NWC strongly urges employers and unions/workers to be ready for re-employment before the law takes effect from 1 January 2012, by adopting the Tripartite Guidelines and putting in place re-employment policies and systems. Companies should be ready to engage their employees on re-employment arrangements. The Tripartite Guidelines recommend that employee engagement be carried out not less than 6 months prior to re-employment, which means that it should start from July 2011 for those with employees reaching age 62 from 1 January 2012. Companies with a significant number of older employees and which will be immediately affected by the reemployment legislation can seek assistance by tapping on the ACCELErating REemployment through Tripartite Effort (ACCELERETE)16 initiative by the tripartite partners. 24. Companies are also encouraged to put in place proper performance appraisal systems. Employees should be flexible in working out re-employment arrangements with their employers, be open to training and skills upgrading, and be prepared to make adjustments to their wages and benefits if necessary.
Application of NWCs Recommendations 25. 2012. The NWC recommendations cover the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June
26. These recommendations are applicable to all employees management, executives and rank-and-file employees, unionised and non-unionised companies in both public and private sectors. 27. To facilitate wage negotiation, companies should share relevant information on company performance and business prospects with employees and their representatives.
Conclusion 28. The NWC looks forward to the Governments acceptance of its recommendations.
16
The ACCELERETE programme aims to help employers align their HR policies and re-employment practices to the Tripartite Guidelines on the Re-employment of Older Employees.
