The Government has accepted the National Wages Council's annual guidelines from 1 December 2024 to 30 November 2025.
Singapore’s labour market continued to expand in the first half of 2024, and overall labour productivity rose. Our economy is also expected to expand by 2.0% to 3.0% this year. In the long term, wage growth is in line with productivity growth. As part of our social compact, employers are encouraged to provide wage flexibility. Together, let us ensure that every worker can enjoy the fruits of Singapore’s growth.
In view of this, the National Wages Council has made the following key recommendations for employers to:
✔ Reward employees with wage increases that are fair and sustainable
✔ Adopt the Flexible Wage System to provide wage stability
✔ Provide lower-wage workers with a built-in wage increase of 5.5% to 7.5%
✔ Press on with transforming businesses and upskilling the workforce
