Launched in May by the Economy Ministry, the progressive wage policy is aimed at raising the wages of Malaysians.
This includes providing a salary guide - an extensive list of starting salaries for entry-level positions of 382 jobs.
This Kiniguide breaks down what the policy is, how it intends to raise national wages and lets you check the entry-level salary for your job through an interactive table.
What is the progressive wage policy?
The policy is a voluntary scheme to raise the wages of Malaysian employees through productivity-linked incentives.
Targeting micro, small and medium enterprises, the first 1,000 qualifying firms who register will get government support to raise the wages for their employees.
Registrations are open until Aug 31, 2024.
