Wrong time to push for progressive wage model in F&B, retail: employers

Singapore

IT is bad timing to call on businesses in the retail and food and beverage (F&B) sectors to adopt the progressive wage model (PWM) when many of them are still struggling to survive the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Right now, everyone is trying to survive, so anything that increases our expenses - we will try not to do that," said Cedric Tang, managing director of Ka Soh Restaurant.
