The Progressive Wage (PW) Mark is an accreditation scheme to recognise eligible firms that pay progressive wages to lower-wage workers. From 1 March 2023, the Government will require suppliers and eligible sub-contractors who are awarded Government contracts to be accredited with the PW Mark, starting with contracts with larger value. The PW Mark accreditation scheme will be administered by the Singapore Business Federation on behalf of the Tripartite Partners, as part of a national effort to uplift the wages and well-being of lower-wage workers.
