1. The Government has accepted the recommendations by the Security Tripartite Cluster (STC) in the STC Report on the Security Progressive Wage Model (PWM). This will lead to the introduction of a three-year schedule of sustained wage increases for security officers[1] employed by security agencies on Part-Time[2] and Ad-Hoc Work Arrangements[3], from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028. Since 1 January 2024, the Security PWM has provided a wage ladder for security officers employed by security agencies who are not working full-time.
2. The updated schedule of part-time hourly rates is reflected in the table below.
