Cleaner Wages to See Progressive Annual Increases Until 2028

Starting from July 2023, the basic monthly wages for approximately 40,000 Singaporean and permanent resident cleaners in outsourced roles will see a structured increase over a six-year period, culminating in a minimum base income of S$2,420 by July 2028. This progressive wage enhancement aims to significantly improve the earnings of these essential workers.
Initial Wage Hikes in 2023

In the first year of the wage enhancement, 2023, basic salaries will experience an initial rise. Depending on their specific job levels, cleaners will see their wages increase by an amount ranging from S$243 to S$265. For general cleaners, this represents a 20% increase, bringing their base wage to S$1,570.
Incremental Annual Increases from 2024 to 2028

Following the initial increment in 2023, wages will continue to climb annually. For the subsequent five years, from 2024 to 2028, general cleaners are projected to receive annual increments of S$170, ultimately reaching a base wage of S$2,420 by 2028.
Higher Increments for Specific Roles

Cleaners in roles such as outdoor cleaning, healthcare cleaning, dishwashing, conservancy general cleaning, restroom cleaning, and refuse collection will benefit from higher annual increments. In the first three years of the program (2023-2025), these workers will receive an annual increase of S$265. For the following three years (2026-2028), their annual increments will be S$170, leading to a minimum base salary of at least S$2,835 by 2028.
Increased Wages for Multi-Skilled Cleaners and Supervisors

Beyond general cleaning roles, the wage progression extends to more specialised positions. Multi-skilled cleaners, including machine operators, are set to see their monthly wages increase from the current S$1,648 to at least S$3,040 by 2028. Supervisors, currently earning S$1,854 per month, will experience a significant wage adjustment, reaching S$3,210 by the same year.
