Ministry of Manpower (MOM), Singapore - Local Qualifying Salary (Progressive Wage Model)Singapore has NO national statutory minimum wage. Wages are set by the market, with two sub-national/sectoral floors instead: (1) the Local Qualifying Salary (LQS), a de facto floor that firms hiring foreign workers must pay local employees not covered by a sectoral PWM; and (2) the Progressive Wage Model (PWM), which sets mandatory sector-specific minimum wage ladders for cleaning, security, landscaping, lift maintenance, waste management, food services, retail, and administrative roles. I report the LQS as the broadest reference rate covering full-time local workers: S$1,600/month gross, effective 1 July 2024 (confirmed current 'today' on the MOM page as of the 2026-06-19 query). MOM also sets a part-time LQS of S$10.50/hour; I did not report this as hourly because the standard full-time floor is published monthly. UPCOMING CHANGE: the LQS rises to S$1,800/month on 1 July 2026 (announced in Budget 2026, confirmed on the MOM page). Sector-specific PWM minimums can be higher (e.g., cleaners ~S$2,080/month from July 2026). weekly_hours_used=44 reflects the Singapore Employment Act standard/maximum normal work week. LQS applies to citizens/PRs; it is not a universal wage floor for all workers.
