KUALA LUMPUR: A Progressive Wage Policy White Paper is one of the government's strategies to increase the median wage for workers, thus increasing the rate of Employee Compensation (CE) during the remaining period of the 12th Malaysia Plan as well as the period 10 years from now.

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the CE rate was at 32 per cent last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic which caused many to lose their jobs.
